Karamveer Singh, identified as a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi's criminal gang, was arrested by Punjab Police following his deportation from Canada. Authorities said Singh had been instrumental in facilitating operations for the organised crime syndicate, which has been linked to multiple high-profile crimes across northern India.
Investigators allege that Singh provided crucial logistical support and shelter to Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi's younger brother. Anmol Bishnoi was previously apprehended by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with the gang's criminal activities.
The Bishnoi gang has been under intense scrutiny by law enforcement agencies for its involvement in alleged extortion, murder, and other serious crimes. The arrest of Singh marks another significant development in the ongoing crackdown against the network, which has expanded operations across multiple states and even international jurisdictions.
Punjab Police indicated that Singh's extradition from Canada followed coordinated efforts with international law enforcement agencies. The suspect is expected to face questioning regarding his role in assisting the gang's operations and his connections to other members of the criminal organisation.
