A notorious Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist, Parminder Singh, also known as Pindi, has been extradited from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to India, a Punjab Police officer confirmed on Saturday. This move comes as part of a coordinated effort between Indian authorities and their UAE counterparts.
Parminder Pindi is accused of several serious crimes, including petrol bomb attacks, violent assaults, and extortion within the Gurdaspur area of Punjab. His extradition highlights the ongoing collaboration between law enforcement agencies across borders to tackle terrorism and organized crime.
Punjab’s Director General of Police, Gaurav Yadav, disclosed that Pindi’s extradition resulted from swift actions taken after a red corner notice (RCN) was issued by the Batala police. In a detailed statement, Yadav mentioned a dedicated four-member police team led by a senior officer. The team set off for Abu Dhabi on September 24.
During their visit, the team coordinated effectively with the Ministry of External Affairs and local UAE authorities to ensure all legal processes were meticulously followed. After the completion of necessary formalities, they successfully brought Pindi back to India to face the charges laid against him.
Yadav further stated on X (formerly Twitter), “This successful operation underscores our commitment to bringing criminals to justice, regardless of where they seek refuge. The cooperative efforts between Indian and UAE authorities demonstrate the international resolve against terrorism and crime.”
Parminder Pindi’s arrest is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to dismantle BKI’s operations, which have been linked to various terror-related activities in Punjab and beyond. The Punjab Police have remained vigilant in tracking down operatives associated with foreign-based terrorist groups.
This extradition marks a clear message to affiliates of such groups that law enforcement agencies will pursue them relentlessly. As such collaborative operations continue, they signal a unified front against terrorism in India, striving towards a safer environment for its citizens.
