India to cancel dozens of OCI cards in crackdown on Khalistani activities: Report

LONDON Sept 28: India is considering the cancellation of Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) cards for more than a dozen individuals engaged in pro-Khalistan activities as authorities have instructed agencies to locate properties linked to such individuals residing abroad, local media reports said citing sources.

This is to intensify the crackdown on Khalistani elements and prevent individuals involved in these illegal activities from entering India.

Reports added that Indian authorities have identified 19 absconding Khalistani terrorists who are currently living in countries such as the US, UK, Canada, UAE, Pakistan, and others. The government is now intending to confiscate their properties under Section 33(5) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Previously, security agencies had identified a group of 11 individuals, believed to be a mix of gangsters and terrorists, residing in Canada, the United States, and Pakistan. As per reports, out of these 11 individuals, eight are suspected to be operating from within Canada.
