Reportedly, Panjwar had been involved in illegal arms training for terrorists in Pakistan and helping them infiltrate India to target economic installations and VIPs. He had also been at the helm of the drug trade, circulating fake Indian currency notes and inciting minorities against the Government of India.
The Khalistani Commando Force (KCF) headed by Panjwar was eyeing to reactivate sleeper cells and form a nexus of ex-terrorists with other anti-India elements.
In July 2019, there were reports that Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorists are smuggling drugs into India to fuel terror activities in Punjab. The report had mentioned three instances linked to Paramjit Singh Panjwar.
A year later, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) designated nine individuals associated with Khalistani Movement as terrorists. Out of those ten individuals, Paramjit Singh Panjwar was designated as a terrorist for their involvement in drug trafficking and anti-India activities.
