The court ordered the confiscation of land at Kothe Gurupura (Rode) village of Smalsar Police station under section 33(5) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. Under the section, a judge can confiscate moveable and immoveable property of a proclaimed offender involved in serious crimes. The order came in a case registered by the NIA on January 1, 2021 under various sections of the UAPA, Indian Penal Code and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances act. Singh, a nephew of Jarnail Singh Bindrawale, was booked by the Punjab Police initially for his alleged involvement in a tiffin bomb blast case that took place on September 15, 2021 in Jalalabad town of Fazilka district of Punjab. Investigators claimed that Lakhbir Singh, also the self-styled Chief of proscribed terrorist organisation International Sikh Youth Forum, masterminded the whole conspiracy. The probe indicated that he was working in collusion with his Pakistan-based masters and that he had played a key role in sending consignments of terrorist hardware, including arms, ammunition, custom-made tiffin bombs, grenades, explosives as well as drugs, to carry out terrorist acts, particularly bomb blasts, to instil fear and terror among the people of Punjab. Singh, a listed individual terrorist under the UAPA, fled to Pakistan around 1996-97. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is investigating six cases against him for his active involvement in terror activities between 2021-2023. He stands accused of engaging in a wide array of terror activities and his criminal dossier includes armed attacks on law-enforcement personnel, orchestrating IED and bomb blasts, targeted killings of members of the minority community, extortion, fund-raising for terrorist operations, and instilling terror among the general populace.
