The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a charge-sheet in the Patiala House Court on Thursday against 12 accused persons for conspiring to wage war against the Government of India by carrying out terrorist and secessionist activities in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. 

The 12,794 page charge-sheet has been filed under sections 120B, 121, 121A and 124A of the Indian Penal Code and sections 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 38, 39 and 40 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.

Republic TV has accessed 32 operative pages of the explosive NIA charge-sheet that nails the dangerous Separatist-Pak nexus.
