New Delhi: In a major success against cross-border terrorism, Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist Parminder Singh, alias Pindi, has been extradited from Abu Dhabi to India. A known Khalistan sympathiser, Pindi was closely associated with Pakistan-based terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda and the Happy Pasian gang.
Wanted for years in Punjab, he faced charges of petrol pump bombings, extortion, and violent attacks, including attempts on lives. After extensive coordination, a four-member Punjab Police team, supported by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and UAE authorities, brought him back on September 26 following his arrest earlier under an Interpol Red Corner Notice.
The operation was executed with the combined efforts of the CBI’s International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU), MEA, Ministry of Home Affairs, Punjab Police, and Abu Dhabi’s National Central Bureau (NCB).
Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav hailed the extradition as “historic,” calling it a testament to the government’s zero-tolerance policy on terrorism and organized crime. He said Pindi was directly involved in petrol bombings, extortion rackets, and violent attacks in Batala and surrounding areas.
The CBI, India’s designated National Central Bureau for Interpol, has helped secure the return of over 130 fugitives in recent years using global police cooperation channels. Pindi’s extradition adds to this growing record.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police’s Special Cell has intensified its crackdown on international gangsters. Special CP Pramod Kushwaha confirmed strict action against more than 50 operatives and warned that those glorifying criminals online will face consequences under MCOCA.
The extradition of Parminder Singh Pindi marks a significant step in India’s fight against terrorism, reinforcing national security and sending a strong signal to anti-India networks operating abroad.
