A wanted Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist, Parminder Singh alias Pindi, has been extradited from Abu Dhabi, UAE, to India.
Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said the extradition was possible thanks to the efforts of Punjab Police and close coordination with central agencies.
Pindi was involved in multiple serious crimes, including petrol bomb attacks, violent assaults, and extortions in Batala, Gurdaspur.
Posting on X, Yadav said a dedicated four-member Punjab Police team, led by a senior officer, travelled to the UAE on September 24. Acting on a red corner notice (RCN) requested by Batala police, they coordinated with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and UAE authorities to complete all legal formalities for his return.

“The extradition reflects Punjab Police’s zero-tolerance towards terrorism and organised crime and highlights our growing international cooperation and investigative reach,” Yadav wrote.
The extradition came after Batala Police issued a Red Corner Notice. On September 24, 2024, a four-member Punjab Police team, led by a senior officer, quickly travelled to the UAE. Coordinating closely with MEA officials and UAE authorities, the team completed all legal formalities and successfully returned the accused to India to face trial.
