**NIA Arrests Key Suspect in Amritsar Temple Grenade Attack**
**NEW DELHI, September 5, 2025** – The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has apprehended Sharanjit Kumar, also known as Sunny, a key suspect in the March 15, 2025, grenade attack on a temple in Amritsar. Kumar, a resident of Bhaini Bangar village in Gurdaspur, Punjab, was arrested in Gaya, Bihar.
According to the NIA, Kumar was actively involved in the conspiracy and execution of the terror attack. The attack was carried out by Gursidak Singh and Vishal Gill, two assailants on a motorcycle, allegedly acting under the direction of handlers based abroad. The agency alleges the conspiracy was orchestrated by handlers with a transnational presence in Europe, the United States, and Canada, who provided funds, logistical support, and target information.
The NIA further stated that Gursidak and Vishal were involved in procuring and supplying grenades, arms, and ammunition. Kumar allegedly received a consignment of four grenades from another arrested accused on March 1 and handed one of them to Gursidak and Vishal two days before the attack. Kumar had been on the run for approximately a month after the NIA initiated a search operation in the Batala area.
The investigation is ongoing.
