Raids against people linked to Lawrence Bishnoi

The raids took place a few days after Lawrence Bishnoi’s four properties were attached by the NIA on January 6. Out of these properties, three were fixed, and one was movable.
The NIA teams in Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh jointly seized the properties under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of 1967.
The NIA has stated that it identified all these assets as ‘proceeds of terrorism,’ utilized for planning terrorist conspiracies and carrying out significant criminal activities.
