Chandigarh, March 7: International law enforcement officials detained Punjab’s most-wanted criminal Amritpal Singh, also known as Amrit Dalam, during an attempted crossing at the Moldova border. The operation was executed based on an Interpol Red Notice initiated by the Punjab Police in coordination with national security departments.
The suspect, identified as a key member of the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang, had successfully evaded authorities by staying abroad for several years. DGP Gaurav Yadav asserted that the detention was the direct outcome of sustained efforts and persistent communication between state police and international agencies.
Current efforts focus on the administrative transition of the suspect back to Punjab. “Legal and diplomatic procedures are now underway to secure his extradition or deportation to India so that he can face the law,” the DGP declared while discussing the status of the case.
The Punjab Police Overseas Fugitive Tracking Cell continues to track dozens of other individuals who have fled the country. With 61 active cases involving gangsters in foreign territories, the capture of Amrit Dalam is viewed as a significant milestone in the ongoing campaign to bring fugitives back to the state to answer for their alleged crimes.
