FBI arrests man in Sacramento wanted in connection to India terrorist attacks
The FBI on Thursday said it arrested a man in Sacramento wanted in connection to terrorist attacks across India.
Harpreet Singh entered the United States unlawfully and had been trying to avoid arrest by using disposable phones and “encrypted applications,” the bureau’s Sacramento office said in a Facebook post.
The FBI said he is suspected of working with Pakistan’s intelligence agency as well as Babbar Khalsa International, which the agency called a terrorist group.
The head of police in the Indian state of Punjab alleged on X that Singh “played a central role in orchestrating targeted killings, grenade attacks on police establishments.”
India’s National Investigation Agency in March said on X that Singh, who also goes by the alias Happy Passia, is accused of directing others to carry out a grenade attack on a retired Punjab police officer last September.
