The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested absconding December 2021 Ludhiana Court building blast conspirator and wanted terrorist Harpreet Singh from Delhi airport soon after his arrival from Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia, the agency said on Friday.

“Investigations revealed that Harpreet Singh alias Happy Malaysia, an associate of Lakhbir Singh Rode, was one of the conspirators of the Ludhiana Court Building blast, alongwith Rode,” said the NIA in a statement.

Harpreet was one of the conspirators of the December 2021 Ludhiana Court Building blast. He is also one of the associate of Lakhbir Singh Rode, a Pakistan-based self-styled Chief of the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). Harpreet, hailing from Punjab’s Amritsar district, was arrested on Thursday at Indira Gandhi International Airport here soon after he arrived from Malaysia.

The case was initially registered on December 23, 2021, by Punjab Police and NIA re-registered it on January 1 this year.

According to the NIA, Harpreet coordinated the delivery of the custom-made Improvised Explosive Device (IED) that were used in the Ludhiana Court building blast and he was acting on the directions of Rode.

Earlier a non-bailable warrent was issued against Harpreet and a look out circular was also opened. A reward of Rs 10 lakh on Harpreet Singh was declared by NIA.
