    The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted three accused in the Amritsar temple grenade attack case. In its chargesheet filed before the Special NIA Court, Mohali, NIA charged Vishal Gill @ Chuchi, Bhagwant Singh @ Manna Bhatti, and Diwan Singh @ Sunny for their role in the conspiracy and execution of the attack, carried out on Thakurdwara Sanatan Temple, Chheharta, Am@itsar. Vishal Gill was one of the two bike-borne assailants who had hurled the grenade in the wee hours of 15th March 2025. The other assailant, Gursidak Singh @ Sidki, was killed in a police encounter two days after the attack. As per the chargesheet, Bhagwant Singh @ Manna Bhatti had facilitated the attackers by providing shelter, safe concealment of grenades, motorcycles for reconnaissance, and logistical support before and after the attack. Diwan Singh @ Sunny has been chargesheeted for his role in harbouring the co-accused and destruction of evidence. Another key accused, Sharanjeet Kumar, was arrested by NIA from Gaya, Bihar, on 5th September 2025. Investigations against him and foreign-based absconding accused Badalpreet Singh are continuing. The agency’s investigations into the case RC-08/2025/NIA/DLI have also revealed the transfer of terror funds from foreign handlers to local operatives through UPI and MTSS channels, which are being further probed. Efforts are on to identify the other absconders in the case, and to trace the international linkages of the terror module involved in the attack – part of a larger conspiracy by terror operatives based in India and abroad with the aim to instill fear among people and incite communal disharmony in Punjab and the rest of the country.
