NIA Arrests Key Suspect in Amritsar Temple Grenade Attack

Sharanjit Kumar supplied grenades used in the Amritsar temple attack, part of a terror conspiracy with handlers in Europe, the US, and Canada, NIA said.

  • On Friday, the NIA arrested Sharanjit Kumar alias Sunny in Gaya; he is a key suspect in the March 2025 Amritsar temple grenade attack.
  • Investigators link the March 15 attack to foreign-based handlers directing two bike-borne assailants, Gursidak Singh and Vishal Gill, at Thakur Dwar Mandir, Amritsar, Punjab.
  • Investigators found Sharanjit received a consignment of four grenades at Batala on March 1, 2025, and handed one grenade to Gursidak Singh and Vishal Gill two days before the March 15 assault.
  • The NIA has registered cases under the Explosives Act and UAPA, and its teams, aided by local police, have detained many accused tied to the Popular Front of India in Bihar.
  • NIA officials say probes continue into the wider conspiracy as foreign-based handlers allegedly supplied ammunition, funds, logistical support, and target details to operatives in India, with further investigations underway to unravel the transnational terror network.
