NIA raids in many states including Delhi, The nexus between terrorists, gangsters and drug smugglers got busted

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted raids in several states including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Delhi on Tuesday. News agency ANI quoted its sources as saying that the NIA has raided several locations in Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana and UP on Tuesday morning to bust the gangster's hideouts.

With a view to bust the growing nexus between terrorists, gangsters and drug smugglers based in India and abroad, the NIA conducted raids in more than six districts of four states including Delhi. The NIA raids are being conducted in residential and other premises linked to gangsters.

In October, the NIA raided 52 places in four states of North India and including Delhi. A lawyer and a gangster from Haryana were arrested in this raid operation. The arrested lawyer was identified as Asif Khan, a resident of Gautam Vihar in North East Delhi's Usmanpur area. He was arrested after the agency sleuths recovered four arms and some pistols along with ammunition from his house during a search at his residence.

The agency said the gangster's nexus operates inside and outside the jail and the gang members actively assist gangsters and criminals in carrying out various types of criminal and illegal activities. In September, the NIA had conducted raids at 52 locations in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi as well as in the National Capital Region (NCR).
