The National Investigation Agency's recent chargesheet has revealed banned Khalistani terror group Babbar Khalsa International's (BKI) attempts to establish networks abroad. With help from pro-Khalistan elements, BKI is trying to settle important members in various countries to carry out targeted attacks. BKI has created a nexus between terrorists and gangsters, providing the latter weapons access. NIA states BKI chief Wadhwa Singh Babbar and deputy Mehal Singh are in Pakistan under ISI patronage. Harwinder Singh Rinda, involved in contract killings, also operates from Pakistan. The group was behind recent attacks in Punjab. BKI has active presence across Europe, North America and Pakistan. It maintains ties with Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company syndicate too.
