Chandigarh, April 10: The Punjab Government has issued a stern warning to fugitives, asserting that no criminal can escape justice by fleeing the country. Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann stated on Friday that the state is actively utilizing international channels to ensure that gangsters operating from abroad are brought back to Punjab to stand trial. He maintained that the government’s proactive engagement with central ministries has been instrumental in tracking networks that span from Dubai to Canada.
CM Mann declared that criminal syndicates often use foreign bases to supply weapons and pay shooters in other Indian states. He affirmed that the Punjab Police have been successful in arresting many of these operatives. According to the Chief Minister, the state is committed to ensuring that these global networks are dismantled. He stated that whenever information regarding foreign operations is received, the administration immediately initiates the extradition process through the appropriate federal departments.
Welcoming the return of a key suspect in a high-profile murder case from the UAE, AAP General Secretary Baltej Pannu stated that the move serves as a testament to the government’s firm willpower. He noted that the accused in the Kamal Kaur case was tracked down through a persistent investigation that followed the crime in Bathinda last year. Pannu affirmed that the administration will not spare anyone who takes the law into their own hands, regardless of their location.
The government maintained that the current crackdown is part of a larger strategy to uphold the rule of law and protect the state’s peaceful environment. CM Mann asserted that Punjab’s identity is rooted in the welfare of all, and his administration will continue to work tirelessly toward that goal. Pannu declared that the message to all offenders is clear: they will be traced, punished, and held accountable under the strict provisions of the law.
