“Property confiscation” notices were put up outside the residence of pro-Khalistan leader Pannu in Chandigarh and near a piece of agricultural land in Punjab’s Amritsar
In Punjab's Amritsar, Jalandhar, and capital Chandigarh, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday seized the properties owned by banned Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) founder and declared terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu.
“Property confiscation” notices were put up outside the residence of pro-Khalistan leader Pannu in Chandigarh and near a piece of agricultural land in Punjab’s Amritsar, they said.
The action was taken under the relevant section of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
A property confiscation notice pasted outside Pannun's residence at sector 15 in Chandigarh reads, “1/4th share of house no. #2033 Sector 15-C, Chandigarh, owned by Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, a 'proclaimed offender' in NIA case RC- 19/2020/NIA/DLI, stands confiscated to the state under section 33(5) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, 1967 by orders of the NIA special court, SAS Nagar, Mohali, Punjab, Dated 14/09/2023. This is for information of general public.”
The NIA action came amid an escalating diplomatic row between India and Canada over the issue of the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar by unidentified assailants in British Columbia in June.
Pannun recently issued a warning to Hindus living in Canada to leave the country and declared a new referendum and vote to determine if the Indian high commissioner was behind the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. A video of Pannun making these statements is circulating on social media.
He said that they wanted to get revenge for Nijjar, whose death led to a diplomatic row between India and Canada after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicated that the attack was carried out by "agents of the Indian government."
