NIA Files Case Against Pannun Over Reward To Stop PM Modi From Hoisting Tricolour

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a new case against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US-based Khalistani terrorist, for offering a reward to prevent Prime Minister Narendra Modi from hoisting the national flag on this year’s Independence Day and “spreading disaffection among Sikhs against India”, besides other charges.

In a video address from Washington, he declared a reward of ₹11 crore to those who would stop Modi from unfurling the Tricolour at the Red Fort. (File)

According to the NIA’s FIR, Pannun, who is the general counsel for the banned Khalistani outfit “Sikhs For Justice” (SFJ), made the announcement during a “Meet the Press” event at the Lahore Press Club in Pakistan on August 10.
