A Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist, Parminder Singh alias Pindi, has been extradited from the UAE by Punjab Police after being implicated in several violent crimes, including petrol bomb attacks and extortions. The extradition took place on Saturday as confirmed by Gaurav Yadav, Director General of Police, Punjab.
Pindi faces multiple charges linked to his criminal activities in Batala, Gurdaspur, where he allegedly collaborated with other foreign-based terrorists like Harwinder Singh alias Rinda and Happy Passia. His extradition stands as a significant development in India’s ongoing fight against terrorism.
In a detailed statement, Yadav mentioned that the extradition stemmed from a swift response to a Red Corner Notice (RCN) issued by Batala police. A specialized four-member team, under the leadership of a senior officer, commenced travels to Abu Dhabi on September 24.
Working in close conjunction with the Ministry of External Affairs and UAE authorities, the Punjab Police team coordinated efforts to legally facilitate Pindi’s return. After adhering to all necessary legal protocols, they successfully brought him back to Indian soil.
The arrest of Parminder Pindi symbolizes Punjab Police’s relentless commitment to dismantling terrorist networks operating from abroad. According to Yadav, Pindi’s activities reflect a broader pattern of organized violence that has plagued the region.
Authorities urge communities to remain vigilant. The collaboration between Indian and UAE agencies highlights the international dimension of combating terrorism. The successful extradition marks a pivotal moment in Punjab’s law enforcement efforts.
As law enforcement agencies emphasize the importance of cooperation, they caution that the presence of such elements poses a serious threat to public safety and peace. Pindi’s extradition is expected to lead to further investigations into his associates and funding networks.
Punjab Police plans to interrogate Pindi upon his return to ensure comprehensive scrutiny of his actions. This will provide crucial insights into his affiliations and operational tactics. As investigations unfold, the police remain dedicated to restoring security and combating organized crime effectively.
The successful operation underscores the importance of diplomatic collaboration in tackling global terrorism. Officials state that measures will continue to strengthen India’s defenses against such threats, reflecting a commitment to safeguarding citizens.
