The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against nine accused, including two Pakistan nationals, in connection with the grenade attack on the Sirsa Women Police Station in Haryana in November 2025.
According to the NIA, the chargesheeted accused include Pakistan-based handlers Shahzad Bhatti and Sohail Ahmad alias Sohail Baloch, along with arrested Indian nationals Dheeraj alias Dhiru, Vikas alias Vikky, Sandeep alias Daimar, Vikas, Sushil alias Sillu, Md Sijaan alias Sijaan alias Ghazi, and Gurjant Singh.
The incident took place on the night of November 25, 2025, when a low-intensity explosive device was hurled outside the Women Police Station in Sirsa. The blast caused panic in the area but did not result in any casualties or major structural damage.
A CCTV video of the attack later surfaced on social media, showing two motorcycle-borne youths allegedly throwing the explosive object near the police station gate. Investigators had initially probed possible Khalistani links and external coordination before the NIA formally took over the case as a terror-related investigation.
The agency’s probe later pointed toward cross-border involvement and alleged Pakistan-backed handlers coordinating local operatives through social media and other digital channels. Shahzad Bhatti, identified as one of the alleged masterminds, has previously been linked to gangster-terror modules accused of targeting police establishments in Punjab and Haryana.
The accused have been booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Explosives Act, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Investigators are also examining wider links related to funding, logistics support, arms supply chains and potential connections with other attacks targeting security infrastructure in northern India.
