The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has successfully coordinated the return of wanted fugitive Parminder Singh, also known as Nirmal Singh or Pindi, from the UAE through INTERPOL channels.
Parminder Singh is wanted by the Punjab Police in connection with multiple serious offences, including extortion, violations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for raising funds for terrorist activities, attempt to murder, and criminal intimidation. The subject had fled India and was absconding for a significant period.
The International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of the CBI, in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), NCB-Abu Dhabi, and Punjab Police, successfully coordinated his return to India on 26 September 2025. Upon arrival, Parminder Singh was escorted by a team of Punjab Police officials from the UAE.
Earlier, on 13 June 2025, the CBI secured the publication of a Red Notice through INTERPOL at the request of Punjab Police. Parminder Singh was subsequently arrested by UAE authorities, and a decision was taken to extradite him to India.
Red Notices published by INTERPOL serve as international alerts circulated to law enforcement agencies worldwide for tracking and apprehending wanted criminals. Acting as the National Central Bureau for INTERPOL in India, the CBI coordinates with various Indian law enforcement agencies through BHARATPOL to facilitate assistance via INTERPOL channels.
In recent years, more than 130 wanted criminals have been successfully brought back to India through effective coordination and cooperation via INTERPOL channels, reinforcing India’s commitment to combating transnational crime.
