The development came days after Punjab Police, with the assistance of central agencies, secured the extradition of fugitive criminal Amritpal Singh alias Amrit Dalam, a key operative of the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang, from Moldova.
Sharing more details, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Promod Ban said that accused Karamveer Singh has an extensive criminal history across Punjab, involving at least five criminal cases related to murder, attempt to murder, armed robbery, and extortion. The ADGP said that further investigations are underway to establish his operational connections, illicit funding channels, and linkages with other members of the gang.
