State vs Naresh Balyan — AAP MLA extortion and conspiracy case

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.

Four Indian youths from Punjab were deported from Canada by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) due to their alleged involvement in extortion and organized crime. Upon arrival, they faced police action, with reports noting links to gang networks.

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.
