The National Investigation Agency has taken into custody three additional suspects linked to the IED explosion at a Himachal Pradesh police station, expanding the ongoing probe.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) announced that three more individuals have been arrested in connection with the improvised explosive device (IED) blast that targeted a police station in Himachal Pradesh. The arrests were made following further interrogation of earlier suspects and the recovery of additional forensic evidence at the crime scene.
According to officials, the newly detained persons are believed to have played a role in planning or executing the attack, which caused significant damage to the police facility but resulted in no reported fatalities. The NIA has taken over the case from local law enforcement, citing the need for a broader investigative reach due to the suspected involvement of organized networks.
Investigators continue to piece together the motive behind the blast, examining links to extremist groups and local grievances. The agency has urged the public to cooperate with ongoing inquiries and has warned that any further attempts to destabilise law‑enforcement infrastructure will be met with strict legal action.
