The Story in Brief
The National Investigation Agency has arrested Manveer Ram alias Ashu in the murder case of VHP leader Vikas Prabhakar in Nangal, Punjab. Immigration authorities detained him at Amritsar International Airport on Thursday using a Look Out Circular issued by the agency. He will be produced before a special NIA court.
The NIA took over the investigation on May 9, 2024, and has filed a chargesheet and two supplementary chargesheets. According to the agency, Germany-based handlers of the banned Babbar Khalsa International, identified as Harjit Singh alias Laddi and Kulbeer Singh alias Sidhu, planned the killing. Investigators allege that Ram, who operated from the UAE, arranged firearms and linked the foreign-based handlers with suppliers and associates in India.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that this arrest alone proves the entire conspiracy should be treated cautiously. The NIA’s account places Ram in an alleged support role, while the case still has to withstand scrutiny in court. Equally, dismissing the arrest as routine ignores the cross-border links described by investigators. The important test now is the evidence presented before the special NIA court and whether it connects each accused to the killing beyond association or contact.
