New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) was established in 2009 and subsequently it took over the investigations of blasts occurred in Malegaon 2008, Ajmer, Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad, Margaon in Goa and Samjhauta express blasts. Initially it got little success in arresting alleged right-wing terrorists who were behind these blasts. In 2010-2011, NIA had intensified its investigation and arrested some accused including Swami Aseemanand. With Aseemanand’s arrest NIA cracked Malegaon 2006 blast case. NIA claimed that right wing alleged terrorists were responsible for the Malegaon 2006 blast near a masjid that killed 37 people.
NIA has done a commendable job in the last 2 years by apprehending number of high profile so called alleged terrorists. The newly formed National Investigation Agency (NIA) has successfully spread its tentacles in all the states and also in the nearby Asian countries. It has arrested many alleged terrorists from Bihar, M.P., Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Chattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
Even the gulf state has extended vital information to the NIA related to the alleged terrorists of Indian origin who are living in their country.
Saudi Arabia and Nepal have helped NIA in arresting and deporting alleged terrorist Zabiuddin Ansari@Abu Jindal, Fasih Mahmood, Abdul Karim @Tunda, Ahmed Siddibappa @Yasin Bhatkal, Akhtar @Haddi . These arrests have proved to be its biggest achievement. NIA has claimed that with these arrests they have averted major blasts which could have resulted into multiple deaths.
Despite such success in arresting alleged terrorists from across the border neither NIA nor any other security or intelligence agency have since last 5 years got any clue about 8 right-wing terrorists that figure in its most-wanted list. The details of these accused are:
| Name | Allegation | Reward/Notice |
| Amit | Amit was allegedly involved in seditious activity by causing explosions aboard the Samjhauta Express in Panipat district, Haryana in 2007, which resulted in several deaths and injuries. | NIA has announced cash reward of Rs. 500,000. LOC against him has been issued by Bureau of Immigration. |
| Jay Prakash | Prakash was allegedly involved in a bomb explosion at Margao, Goa and the planting of an improvised explosive device (IED) at Sancoale, Goa. | Red Corner Notice issued. |
| Praveen Limkar | Limkar was allegedly involved in a bomb explosion at Margao, Goa and the planting of an improvised explosive device (IED) at Sancoale, Goa. | Red Corner Notice issued. |
| Ram Chandra Kalsangra | Kalsangra was allegedly involved in seditious activity by causing explosions aboard the Samjhauta Express in Panipat district, Haryana in 2007, which resulted in several deaths and injuries. | NIA has announced cash reward of Rs. 1 million. Red Corner Notice issued. |
| Rudra Patil | Patil was allegedly involved in a bomb explosion at Margao, Goa and the planting of an improvised explosive device (IED) at Sancoale, Goa. | Red Corner Notice issued. |
| Sandeep Dange | Dange was allegedly involved in seditious activity by causing explosions aboard the Samjhauta Express in Panipat district, Haryana in 2007, which resulted in several deaths and injuries. | NIA has announced cash reward of Rs. 1 million. Red Corner Notice issued. |
| Suresh Nair | Nair allegedly caused a bomb explosion at the Dargah of Ajmer Sharif. | NIA has announced cash reward of Rs. 200,000 |
These accused still appear on the wanted list of NIA since last 5 years or so. NIA and other agencies are clueless about their whereabouts. Are they hiding in Pakistan or Nepal? Why Intelligence agencies don’t get to them? If they are in India who is helping them to hide? Who is providing them money and other necessary help?
If Delhi police can arrest influential and widely supported Narayan Sai then why these above mentioned wanted accused not be arrested and brought to justice. It seems either intelligence and security agencies are going slow on them or they are falling short in apprehending them.
