Gurpatwant Pannun booked over his threatning video to Air India passengers by NIA

Pannun had urged Sikhs not to fly near Air India aircraft on and after the specified date in a widely shared video, stating that doing so would put their lives in danger.The founder of the pro-Khalistan organization Sikhs For Justice, Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, was the subject of a case filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday due to his video threat against passengers traveling on Air India on November 19.

In accordance with an official statement from the organization, Pannun has been charged under sections 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 18B, and 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, as well as sections 120B, 153A, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.

In a video that was made public on November 4, Pannun urged Sikhs to avoid flying near Air India aircraft on that day and beyond, stating that doing so would put their lives in danger.In addition, he vowed to ban Air India from operating anywhere in the world. Security authorities in Canada, India, and a few other nations where Air India operates have launched investigations and issued a high alert in response to Pannun’s claims and threats, the agency stated.

According to the NIA, Pannun has been inciting hatred between the Sikh population and other populations in the nation, establishing a false narrative about the problems that exist in Punjab, particularly in relation to the Sikh religion.

The central agency continued, “Pannun has actively promoted the same narrative in the past by threatening and attempting to disrupt essential transportation network systems, including the Railways and Thermal Power Plants in India. The latest threat is in line with that narratiAs a “unlawful association” under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), SFJ was prohibited from operating on July 10 by the home ministry. Pannun was classified by the Center as a “individual terrorist” on July 1, 2020.

Since 2019, when the anti-terror organization filed its first case against Pannun, he has been under NIA scrutiny.
