Punjab’s battle against gangsters reached a new milestone with the capture of Amritpal Singh, better known as Amrit Dalam, at Moldova’s border. A key figure in the Jagga Bhagwanpuria syndicate, this most-wanted criminal was nabbed thanks to a meticulously coordinated Interpol Red Notice, backed by India’s central intelligence agencies.
For an extended period, Amritpal eluded authorities, wanted in several high-profile cases involving violent crimes in Punjab. Punjab Police’s persistent international collaboration finally bore fruit, leading to his arrest on March 7. The Overseas Fugitive Tracking Cell (OFTec) spearheaded the intelligence gathering that made this possible.
Official announcements confirm that diplomatic maneuvers are now underway for his deportation or extradition. This process aims to haul him back to Indian soil, where he will confront the full weight of the law. Punjab Police emphasized their resolve on social media, posting updates that detail the operation’s success.
Currently, OFTec is monitoring 61 other gangsters lurking abroad, making Amritpal’s arrest a crucial step in a larger campaign. Experts view this as a booster for inter-agency cooperation on the world stage, signaling that no border is safe for fugitives. As procedures progress, anticipation builds around how this will impact Punjab’s fight against gang warfare. The public reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing faith in the police’s long-arm reach.
