Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday (August 24) said three fugitive gangsters linked to the Bambiha Gang, wanted for multiple crimes including extortion, cross-border arms and narco-trafficking, have been deported from Malaysia. He said that the fugitives, namely Jaspreet Singh, Ajay Singh and Pawandeep Singh, have been apprehended and brought to India.
In a post on X, Shah's office said, "Indian agencies got three absconding Indian gangsters apprehended in Malaysia, deported them to India, and sent them to police custody. The fugitives, namely Jaspreet Singh, Ajay Singh, and Pawandeep Singh, are linked to the Bambiha Gang and are accused of multiple crimes, including extortion, cross-border arms and narco-trafficking, and a foiled grenade attack in Ludhiana."
51 hardened criminals deported in 2026
The Home Minister further said that Indian agencies have facilitated the deportation of 51 hardened criminals in 2026 alone. "Under Modi Ji's vision of a safe and secure India, our agencies have facilitated the deportation of 51 hardened criminals in 2026 alone," it said.
Two wanted fugitives were deported in May
Earlier in May, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), working closely with the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs, brought back two wanted fugitives from the United Arab Emirates to India. Both accused were returned on May 1, 2026, after coordinated efforts between Indian and UAE authorities.
Kamlesh Parekh was wanted in a major financial fraud case involving losses worth hundreds of crores to a group of banks led by the State Bank of India.
According to investigators, he, along with other company officials, allegedly diverted bank funds through a network of overseas businesses, including operations based in the UAE. The case involves manipulation of financial transactions and misuse of banking systems.
He was tracked down in the UAE through an Interpol Red Notice and later detained by local authorities. After legal procedures were completed, he was handed over to Indian officials and brought to Delhi, where he was taken into custody.
Aalok Kumar, also known as Yashpal Singh, was extradited for his alleged role in a passport fraud network. He was wanted by Haryana Police on charges including cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. Officials say he was part of a well-organized racket that helped individuals obtain Indian passports using fake documents and false identities.
