This is the first instance of the NIA registering a case for a terror attack committed outside India.

The NIA registered the case under various Sections of the Unlawful Activities Act, the Indian Penal Code and Section 6 of the NIA Act. About 150 persons were present in the gurdwara when the attack took place.
An Indian citizen, identified as Tian Singh, was also killed. “Proscribed terrorist organisation, the Islamic State in Khorasan Province claimed the responsibility for this terror attack,” the NIA said.

Ten women from the Kerala group had surrendered to the Afghan authorities in November-December last year. A team of Indian security agencies interrogated the women at a Kabul prison in December last year.
