New Delhi, Sep 11

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has recovered three hand grenades and a pistol in the Amritsar temple grenade attack case, exposing the transnational terror conspiracy involving a major arms and explosives syndicate, the agency said on Thursday.

Disclosures made by accused Sharanjeet Kumar alias Sunny led the NIA to the recovery of the hand grenades from Village Bhamri, Batala, Punjab.

“The accused identified the grenades as among the four he had received on March 1, 2025. He had handed over one grenade to the assailants two days before the March 15 attack, the accused further told the investigators,” it said.

The handlers were actively providing terror hardware, funds, logistical support and target details to their on-ground operatives in India to unleash terror in Punjab and other parts of the country.

The agency further said that the investigations in the case are continuing.
