In a landmark operation reaffirming Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann’s commitment to ensuring justice, Punjab Police has successfully extradited wanted Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist Parminder Singh alias Pindi from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), to India. The operation was carried out with the close coordination and support of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and other central agencies, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said here on Saturday.
According to available information, Parminder Singh alias Pindi, a resident of Harsha in Batala, is not merely a criminal but a key operative of a dangerous terror-criminal syndicate. He was brought back to India by a dedicated team of Batala Police.

DGP Yadav said that Pindi is a close aide of internationally designated terrorists Harwinder Singh alias Rinda and Happy Passia, and has been involved in multiple heinous crimes, including petrol bomb attacks, violent assaults, and extortion in the Batala-Gurdaspur region. The accused also used various social media platforms to coordinate criminal activities and finance his operations, he added.

Detailing the operation, DGP Yadav said that acting swiftly on a Red Corner Notice (RCN) requested by Batala Police, a four-member team led by a senior officer travelled to the UAE on September 24, 2025. In coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and UAE authorities, the team completed all legal formalities and successfully brought the accused back to face justice.
“This successful extradition underscores Punjab Police’s zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and organised crime, as well as its advanced investigative capabilities and global reach,” said the DGP. He added, “We are thankful to the MEA, the Government of the United Arab Emirates, the CBI, and other central agencies for their invaluable cooperation in this joint effort to uphold justice and strengthen national security.”
Sharing further details, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Batala Suhail Qasim Mir said that given the gravity of Pindi’s crimes and his direct links to Pakistan-based terrorists Harwinder Rinda and Happy Passia, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had published a Red Corner Notice against him through INTERPOL at the behest of Batala Police. This global alert was pivotal in tracing his movements and locating him in Abu Dhabi, he said.
The SSP added that with the apprehension of Parminder Singh alias Pindi, Punjab Police has dismantled a critical node in a transnational terror network. “This operation sends a strong and unequivocal message that the long arm of the law knows no geographical boundaries,” he said. Meanwhile, the CBI, as the National Central Bureau for INTERPOL in India, continues to coordinate with all law enforcement agencies in the country through BHARATPOL.
