Claim: NIA arrests accused in VHP leader Vikas Prabhakar murder case New Delhi, August 14, 2026 The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested another accused in the case relating to the targeted killing of VHP leader Vikas Prabhakar in Nangal, Punjab. The accused, Manveer Ram alias Ashu, was detained by immigration authorities at Amritsar International Airport on Thursday on the basis of a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued by the NIA. He was subsequently arrested by the agency and will be produced before the Special NIA Court for further proceedings. The case, registered as RC-06/2024/NIA/DLI, relates to the killing of Vikas Prabhakar, a local VHP leader in Nangal. The NIA took over the investigation on 09th May, 2024 and has so far filed a chargesheet along with two supplementary chargesheets. According to the NIA investigation, the conspiracy to eliminate Prabhakar was hatched by Germany-based handlers of the proscribed Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), identified as Harjit Singh alias Laddi and Kulbeer Singh alias Sidhu. Investigators have revealed that Manveer Ram was recruited to arrange firearms for executing the killing. He operated from the UAE and acted as a crucial link between the Germany-based handlers and firearm suppliers and other associates in India. The NIA has further established that his role was to facilitate contact between the foreign-based conspirators and their operatives in India, thereby assisting the execution of the targeted killing. The agency is continuing its investigation into the larger conspiracy and the roles of other persons involved in the case.
