The National Investigation Agency lodged a case against Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu over the Air India threat video on Monday. The Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, on November 4, issued threats through a video, mentioning Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport’s name would be changed and it would closed on November 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, he also threatened people planning to travel through Air India airlines on that day, claiming that their lives would be in danger. The National Investigation Agency in a statement said that the probe agency has booked Gurpatwant Pannu under sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, he has also been charged under sections 10 (member of an unlawful association), 13 (for taking part in or committing or advocating any unlawful activity), 16 (terrorist act), 17 (funding terrorist act), 18 (conspiring or attempting to commit, or advocating, abetting, advising or inciting a terrorist act), 18B (for recruiting of any person or persons for terrorist act) & 20 (for being a member of a terrorist gang or a terrorist organization) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the video that circulated across social media platforms on November 4 the Khalistani terrorist had said that they are asking the Sikh people not to fly through Air India on November 19. He added that there will be a global blockade. He further warned travellers not to travel by Air India on November 19 or their life will be in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in October, Pannu, the chief of the banned US-based Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) outfit, had threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi to learn from the Israel-Palestine war lest a similar reaction unravels in India. He said that people under illegal occupation from Punjab to Palestine will react. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, Pannu has been on the NIA\u2019s scanner since 2019 when the investigation agency lodged its first case against him. He has also been accused of playing a primary role in advocating and commissioning terror acts and activities, and spreading fear and terror in Punjab and other parts of India through his threats and intimidation strategies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
