New Delhi – The Punjab Anti‑Gangster Task Force (AGTF) detained Karamveer Singh at Indira Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday. Singh, identified as a close associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was flown back to India after being expelled from Canada.

According to Punjab Police, Singh provided logistical support and a safe‑house to Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence’s younger brother, while the latter was in the United States. Anmol has already been the focus of FBI investigations for his gang activities abroad.

Singh faces charges under the Arms Act, Passport Act, and multiple serious offences including murder, attempted murder, robbery, and extortion. A Look‑Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him earlier this month, prompting his swift detention upon arrival.

Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav described the arrest as "a major breakthrough against transnational organised crime," emphasizing its significance for both domestic and international law‑enforcement cooperation.

Sources reveal that a viral video showing Anmol partying in the U.S. was filmed at Singh’s residence, which is now under investigation for housing several gang members.

When the FBI intensified its crackdown on the Bishnoi network in the U.S., Singh reportedly relocated to Canada. He was also linked to a recent shooting at Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s house in Canada, further expanding his criminal portfolio.
