State vs Gurinderjit Singh Nagra — Punjab police inspector extortion case

In an international crackdown named 'Operation Hard Ball', law enforcement agencies in the United States, Canada and Europe arrested 24 persons connected to India-based transnational organised crime syndicates. The operation, led by the FBI, targeted criminal networks allegedly involved in murder, extortion, drug trafficking, firearms offences and organised crime activities spanning multiple countries. An SHO (Station House Officer) from Punjab is among those the FBI seeks to extradite as part of the investigation.

A Punjab Station House Officer (SHO), Gurinderjit Singh, faces extradition to the US following FBI charges linking him to a $400,000 gang-related extortion plot. The case is part of Operation Hard Ball, the international law enforcement crackdown on India-based transnational organised crime groups.

Former Trinamool Congress councillor Debraj Chakraborty was arrested and faced 10 additional extortion cases and land-grab complaints within 24 hours of arrest. He and his wife, former TMC legislator and singer Aditi Munshi, have been booked in multiple cases including extortion, money laundering, criminal intimidation, and asset disproportionate to income. Both CBI and Enforcement Directorate are investigating various charges.

A CBI FIR registered following a complaint from the Supreme Court Registry targeting an organized digital arrest scam network operating across 16 Indian states including Rajasthan. Fraudsters used fake domains to convince victims they were under investigation and extorted money under the guise of 'digital arrest'.

Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar are named in connection with the 2023 killing of Canadian citizen and pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The case forms part of an international law enforcement crackdown on India-based transnational organised crime groups, with arrests and charges filed across the US, Canada, and Europe.

The FBI charged Punjab police officer Gurinderjit Singh Nagra and gangster Lawrence Bishnoi with running an India-based transnational crime syndicate involved in extortion, targeted killings, shootings, and narcotics trafficking. Prosecutors alleged the officer fabricated a murder case and extorted $400,000 from a victim's family in exchange for dropping charges.
