NIA files supplementary chargesheet against four in Sirsa grenade attack

The National Investigation Agency has filed a supplementary chargesheet naming four suspects in the grenade blast near Sirsa's women police station.

The National Investigation Agency has lodged a supplementary chargesheet before the Panchkula special court, accusing four individuals—Rajbir Singh alias Fouji, Ved Parkash alias Pamma, Jiwanjot Singh Grewal alias Jyoti and Chirag Thakral—of involvement in the grenade explosion near the Sirsa women’s police station on November 25. The filing expands on an earlier May 2026 chargesheet that named nine suspects, among them Pakistani nationals Shahzad Bhatti and Sohail Ahmad.

According to the NIA, Singh acted as the India-based coordinator for a cross-border terror network, directing the procurement and movement of weapons and narcotics, while the three others helped transport the explosives used in the attack. The assault was carried out by members of the Shahzad Bhatti network with the intent to harm police and spread terror. Authorities have cited multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Explosive Substances Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The investigation continues to trace additional conspirators and dismantle the broader network.

Why it matters

It highlights ongoing cross-border terrorist threats and the NIA's efforts to prosecute those behind attacks on law-enforcement.
