Overview

• CBI’s International Police Cooperation Unit coordinated with the MEA, MHA, NCB‑Abu Dhabi and Punjab Police to bring Singh back on September 26, with a Punjab Police team escorting him from the UAE.
• Punjab Police say Singh is wanted for extortion, UAPA offences for raising funds for terrorist acts, attempted murder and criminal intimidation tied to attacks and rackets in the Batala–Gurdaspur region.
• An INTERPOL Red Notice requested by Batala Police was published on June 13, 2025, after which UAE authorities arrested Singh and approved his extradition.
• Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav identifies Singh as an associate of foreign‑based handlers Harwinder Singh ‘Rinda’ and Happy Passia, and calls the extradition a key step against organised terror networks.
• CBI notes that more than 130 fugitives have been returned to India via INTERPOL channels in recent years, as investigations into the wider BKI‑linked network continue.
