Sources privy to the matter said that the government has asked the agencies to identify the properties of the terrorists settled abroad.
The source also said that the government has asked the agencies to identify Khalistani terrorists settled in countries like US, UK, Canada and Australia and cancel their Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) so that they don't come to India.
The government plan comes a day after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) confiscated the properties of Pannun in Chandigarh and Amritsar.
The source said that the step will help the government to choke the finances of these terrorists from India and also not allow them to visit here.
The source said that the government has identified 19 absconding Khalistani terrorists staying in countries like US, UK, Canada, UAE, Pakistan and other countries.

The list also includes names of gangsters and terrorists like Gaurav Patyal Lucky and Anmol Bishnoi believed to be in US.
The source said that the government's action will help in dealing with the terrorists who have been staying abroad with OCI cards and choke their movements in India so that they are not able to target the gullible youths for radicalising them to join their movement in India.
The source said that the NIA investigations in Pannun case had revealed that his organisation, Sikhs for Justice, was misusing the cyberspace to radicalise gullible youth and to instigate them to undertake terrorist crimes and activities. It also emerged during the NIA probe that Pannun was the "main handler and controller of the SFJ".
The SFJ was declared as an ‘Unlawful Association’ by the Government of India, vide notification on July 10, 2019.
Pannun, who was declared a ‘designated individual terrorist’ by the Government of India on July 1, 2020, has been actively exhorting Punjab-based gangsters and youth over the social media to fight for the cause of independent state of Khalistan, challenging the sovereignty, integrity and security of the country, NIA probe had shown.
The source said that the recent attacks on Indian missions in US, UK and other countries have brought the scanner on these terrorists, who have been staying abroad with OCI cards.
