The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a most-wanted terrorist, carrying a reward of Rs five lakhs, from the Delhi airport three years after he was declared an absconder and the Interpol issued a Red Corner Notice against him.
Kulwinderjit Singh alias "Khanpuria", who had been associated with terrorist outfits such as the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Friday soon after he arrived from Bangkok, an official of the federal agency said.
Khanpuria was involved and wanted in many terrorist cases, including a conspiracy to carry out targeted killings in Punjab. He had been on the run since 2019, and the NIA had declared a cash reward of Rs five lakh for information leading to his arrest.
He was declared a proclaimed offender by an NIA special court in Punjab, following which a look-out circular and a Red Corner Notice were issued against him during the investigation of a case initially registered at the State Special Operation Cell police station in Amritsar on May 30, 2019, and later re-registered by the NIA on June 27, 2019, the official said.
