A special court in Mohali, Punjab, India, has dismissed the second bail application of Rajanpreet Singh, 36, who is accused in the December 2021 Ludhiana district court bomb blast that killed one person and injured five others. Special judge Dinesh Kumar Wadhwa noted that there was no substantial change in circumstances since the initial rejection of Singh's bail plea. The court emphasized that the case falls under the stringent provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), which allows bail only if no prima facie case exists, a condition not met in this case. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has accused Singh of being part of a terror network linked to Zulfikar, a Pakistan-based arms smuggler, and of aiding in the transportation of narcotics and an improvised explosive device (IED). The court also referred to Singh's previous bail plea rejection in January 2025 and a subsequent appeal that was denied in March 2025. The court concluded that releasing Singh could pose risks of flight, witness tampering, or evidence destruction. Additionally, on April 2, the same court rejected the bail application of Harpreet Singh, an alleged conspirator in the blast, who is accused of facilitating communications between the Pakistani handlers and an Indian module.
