In reply to supplementary questions during Question Hour, Rai said during the investigation of cases in the last year, NIA found that the accused were based outside India’s borders. In many cases, the conspiracy was hatched abroad or the act was committed on Indian consulates abroad.
“NIA is investigating six cases that took place outside the country, including the attacks on Indian high commissions in London and Ottawa and the Indian consulate in San Francisco. It is handling 23 cases of human trafficking, 23 cases of bomb blasts and one on cybercrime. This has helped in bringing down the cases of terror acts,” he said.
Following the deportation of illegal Indian immigrants from the US, he said NIA interviewed many of them and several details of the methods used for trafficking came to light. NIA has filed cases against agents and their accomplices, he said.
