The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has secured a court order declaring a Germany-based member of the banned Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) a proclaimed offender in the Model Jail ‘tiffin-bomb’ case of April 2022.
A non-bailable warrant had earlier been issued against the accused, Jaswinder Singh aka Multani, who is originally from Mansoorpur village in Hoshiarpur’s Mukerian of Punjab. The NIA had also declared a reward of ₹10 lakh and opened a Look-Out Circular against him.
According to the agency, Multani was the mastermind behind the planting of an Improvised Explosive Device outside the wall of Model Jail in Burail, Chandigarh, with the intention of spreading terror and causing violence. “The tiffin bomb, along with a detonator, was found in a black bag outside the jail on April 22 last year,” it said on Thursday.
