Punjab Police and central agencies have achieved a significant breakthrough with the extradition of Parminder Singh, also known as Pindi, a Khalistan-supporting terrorist associated with the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) organization, from Abu Dhabi. Pindi is linked to the gang of Harwinder Singh, also known as Rinda, and Happy Passia, both Khalistan-supporting terrorists hiding in Pakistan. He was wanted in Punjab for several serious crimes, including petrol pump attacks and extortion.
A Punjab Police team arrived in the UAE on September 24 with the assistance of the Union Ministry of External Affairs and UAE authorities to facilitate the extradition of Rinda. Punjab’s DGP expressed gratitude to the Union Ministry of External Affairs, the UAE government, and central agencies of India for the successful extradition.
Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav announced the operation via Twitter, stating that in a historic operation, Punjab Police, in close coordination and cooperation with central agencies, extradited terrorist Parminder Singh, alias Pindi, of Babbar Khalsa International, from Abu Dhabi. Pindi is a close associate of foreign terrorist Harwinder Singh, also known as Rinda, and Happy Passia and is involved in multiple heinous crimes, including petrol bomb attacks, violent assaults, and extortion in the Batala region.
He further stated that acting swiftly on the Red Corner Notice (RCN) issued by Batala Police, a four-member team led by a senior police officer went to the United Arab Emirates on September 24. They coordinated with the Ministry of External Affairs and UAE officials. All legal formalities were completed, and the terrorist was successfully brought back to face justice. This successful extradition underscores the Punjab Police’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and organized crime, as well as its advanced investigative capabilities and global reach. He expressed gratitude for the invaluable cooperation of central agencies, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and the UAE government in this joint effort to uphold justice and strengthen national security.
