Mohali, Oct. 10 -- A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court has rejected the second bail pleas of two accused in the 2019 Tarn Taran blast case, holding that the material on record prima facie linked them to an alleged terrorist module and that they had failed to establish a substantial change in circumstances since their earlier bail pleas were dismissed. Special judge Dinesh Kumar Wadhwa passed separate orders, rejecting the bail pleas of Bikramjit Singh, alias Bikkar Panjwar, and Massa Singh, alias Mandeep Singh, in the case registered by the NIA over an explosion in Pandori Gola village on September 4, 2019. The blast occurred when Bikkar Singh, alias Vikram, and Harpreet Singh, alias Happy, were allegedly digging up explosives buried in a vacant plot. Both died in the explosion, while Gurjant Singh suffered injuries that left him blind. Investigators alleged that the group had buried crude bombs and was planning attacks in Punjab. According to the NIA's case, Bikramjit Singh, a granthi, helped form and train the alleged terrorist module, recruited and radicalised youths, arranged explosives and taught associates to make crude bombs. The agency alleged that he conspired to carry out attacks and continued monitoring the group's activities after leaving India for Austria in July 2018. Austrian authorities apprehended him in March 2021, and India secured his extradition in December 2022. In Massa Singh's case, the NIA alleged that he conspired with other accused to target Muradpura Dera of the Divya Jyoti Jagran Sansthan in Tarn Taran and was involved in arranging and preparing crude bombs. Both orders relied on Section 43-D (5) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, which restricts bail where the court finds reasonable grounds to believe the accusations are prima facie true....
