The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against two accused, including Pakistani gangster Shehzad Bhatti, in connection with the 2025 grenade attack at YouTuber Roger Sandhu’s house in Jalandhar, Punjab.

The NIA took over the case from the Punjab police in December 2025. It has named Shehzad as an absconder in the chargesheet filed before a special court. The second accused is Dipander Pratap Singh alias Deepan Rana, who was recently arrested.

The agency has invoked various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The Punjab police had initially registered a case in March last year, and chargesheeted nine persons based on their investigation. The grenade attack on Mr. Sandhu’s house in Raipur Rasoolpur village was carried out in the early hours of March 16, 2025.

According to the NIA, Shehzad had orchestrated the attack from abroad as part of a wider conspiracy involving a large network of terror modules engaged in targeted killings, recruitment and smuggling of arms and ammunition into India.

“Shehzad had used encrypted communication to direct the various players involved in the attack...Dipander had acted as a key local facilitator to the gangster, and had provided logistical support to the assailants. He was also involved in handling illegal arms and explosives,” it said on Thursday (April 2, 2026).

“A total of 10 accused have so far been arrested in the case, while seven others, including Shehzad whose current whereabouts are not known, are absconding,” said the NIA.
