| Extradition of 26/11 accused, over 92% conviction rate among key milestones of NIA in 2025 | | | Early Times Report
NEW DELHI, Jan 1: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) secured a more than 92 per cent conviction rate this year, during which it also extradited 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Tahawwur Rana, besides arresting terrorists and their associates involved in the dastardly Pahalgam and the Delhi terror attacks.
Rana's extradition from the United States in April marked a significant breakthrough in NIA's investigation into the 26/11 terror attack conspiracy that left 166 people dead, according to an official statement. Keeping pace with the changes in the terror and crime landscape in the country, the NIA made some major technical and operational advancements aimed at strengthening its investigation and modernising its capabilities.
A 'Lost/Looted Recovered' Government Weapons Database and an Organised Crime Network Database were developed to improve the anti-terror capabilities not just of the NIA but of all the key security and investigative agencies across states through real-time information sharing, the statement said. In a significant step towards fostering inter-agency collaboration and empowering law enforcement officials to fight the growing challenges posed by cryptocurrency-related criminal activities, the NIA conducted an advanced workshop on cryptocurrency investigations at the start of the year. The probe agency also secured the deportation of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's brother and close aide Anmol Bishnoi, who had been absconding since 2022, from the US. With its charge sheet filed against seven accused, including the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its affiliate 'The Resistance Front (TRF)' as a terrorist organisation, the NIA wrapped up the year with a major success in its investigation into the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack that had shocked the nation in April. |
