In a plea submitted before the Special NIA Court in Mohali, the NIA sought jail transfer of Jagtar Singh Jaggi, Taljit Singh alias Jimmy Singh, Ramandeep Singh Bagga and Hardeep Singh Shera to Tihar Jail in Delhi. Quartet are booked by the NIA in various killings cases in Punjab.

As per NIA’s submission in the court the Bhartiya Janta Party led Central government has issued a notification to this effect and Congress party led Punjab government and Aam Aadmi Party led Delhi government have given their ‘no-objection’ for the said Jail transfers.
