Babbar Khalsa terrorist, wanted in ਪੰਜਾਬ, extradited from Abu Dhabi.
September 27, Chandigarh With careful cooperation and assistance from central agencies, ਪੰਜਾਬ ਪੁਲਿਸ on Saturday deported terrorist Parminder Singh, Pindi, from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to ਭਾਰਤ in a historic operation, according to Director General of ਪੁਲਿਸ Gaurav Yadav.
According to him, Pindi is a close associate of foreign-based terrorists Happy Passia and Harwinder Singh, also known as Rinda, and is responsible for a number of horrible crimes in the Batala-Gurdaspur area, such as extortions, violent assaults, and petrol bombings.
In response to Batala ਪੁਲਿਸ’s request for a Red Corner Notice (RCN), a committed four-person team headed by a senior ਪੁਲਿਸ officer travelled to the United Arab Emirates on September 24 in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs and UAE authorities. The team fulfilled all legal requirements and successfully returned the accused to face justice, according to the DGP.
“This successful extradition underscores ਪੰਜਾਬ ਪੁਲਿਸ’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and organised crime as well as its advanced investigative capabilities and global reach,” he stated.
“We are thankful to the Central agencies, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the ਸਰਕਾਰ of the United Arab Emirates for their invaluable cooperation in this joint effort to uphold justice and strengthen national security,” said DGP Yadav.
In April, Passia, a wanted mobster who allegedly planned 16 terrorist strikes in ਪੰਜਾਬ, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the United States.
He was also wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), ਭਾਰਤ’s top anti-terror agency. In connection with his suspected involvement in grenade assaults on a Chandigarh home and Punjabi ਪੁਲਿਸ stations, the NIA had offered Passia a reward of Rs 5 lakh.
In partnership with Pakistan’s ISI, Rinda and the outlawed terrorist organisation Babbar Khalsa International, Passia, a close associate of Pakistan-based gangster-turned-terrorist Harvinder Singh, also known as Rinda, have participated in a number of terrorist attacks in ਪੰਜਾਬ. Teams from the ICE and the Federal Bureau of Investigation captured him.
