In a major operation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday was conducting raids at 122 locations across six states, and sources said that incriminating documents have been recovered.
The local police and paramilitary were assisting the agency during the raids.
The raids are part of an ongoing investigation into the gangster-narcotics smuggler-terrorist nexus case with suspected links to Khalistani elements.
According to sources, the raids were going on in Uttarakhand, Punjab, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana. Sources said that they have recovered a few incriminating documents during the raids.

The agency aims to uncover the network involved in promoting terrorism and disrupt their activities. The operation marks a significant step in the NIA's efforts to dismantle criminal networks that pose a threat to national security.
As of now the NIA has not made any official statements in the matter.
