Passia, a leading combatant in the pro-Kalistan element a few years ago, fled to the United States a few years ago and operated with Pakistan-based Harwinder Singh Rinda, a personal terrorist based in Illegal Activities (Prevention).
“Today, the terrorist Harpreet Singh, suspected of terrorist attacks in Punjab, India, was arrested by the FBI and ERO in Sacramento, in Sacramento, in a post on X.
On March 23, the NIA accused four BKI terrorists, including Rinda and Passia, in the 2024 Chandigarh grenade attack case. According to the NIA, both are the main handlers and conspirators behind the 2024 attack. “They provided logistical support, terrorist funding, weapons and ammunition to perform grenade attacks for agents in Chandigarh. The September 2024 attack was intended to target a retired official of the Punjab police,” Nia said.
“The investigation shows that Rinda, together with the happy Passia, planned a terrorist attack between law enforcement officers and the public through grenade attacks, as part of a broader goal of promoting the BKI’s terrorism agenda. They recruited local agents, Rohan Masih and Vishal Masih, whose attacks were directing the attacks, their instructions were directing their commanders, and their instructions were directing them. According to the investigation, Rinda and Passia directed them to reconnaissance before throwing the grenades.
