Event Summary

Punjab, India — Punjab Police, through its India — Overseas Fugitive Tracking and Extradition Cell (OFTEC) and with assistance from central agencies, secured the deportation of three wanted operatives of the Davinder Bambiha gang from Malaysia. The deportees, identified as Jaspreet Singh alias Jas Behbal, Ajay Singhal, and Amandeep Singh, were arrested upon arrival at IGI Airport in New Delhi and brought to Punjab for investigation. They are wanted in multiple cases involving murder, extortion, explosives, and an alleged planned hand-grenade blast in Ludhiana, with reported links to Pakistan's Pakistan — Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The operation is part of a sustained intelligence-led effort against transnational organized crime. This follows a similar deportation last month of fugitive gangster Jobanjit Singh from Indonesia.
