Why it matters
This arrest marks a significant development in the crackdown on transnational organized crime networks operating between India and North America.
A close associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was taken into custody at the IGI Airport in Delhi on Tuesday after being deported from Canada, Punjab Police said.
The arrest of Karamveer Singh by Punjab Police's Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) is being seen as a major breakthrough against transnational organised crime.
"Karamveer Singh had provided logistical support and a hideout to Anmol Bishnoi in the #USA. He was wanted in FIR registered at PS (police station) State Crime, SAS Nagar, under relevant sections of the IPC, Arms Act and Passport Act. A Look Out Circular (LOC) was initiated by AGTF Punjab on 03.09.2026," Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said in a post on X.
Anmol Bishnoi is Lawrence Bishnoi's younger brother.
Singh has a criminal history involving cases related to murder, attempt to murder, robbery, extortion, Arms Act offences and other criminal activities, the DGP said.
