In a significant breakthrough, the Punjab Police’s Anti-Gangster Task Force has successfully brought back a fugitive gangster, Jobanjit Singh, from Jakarta, Indonesia, after a six-month-long manhunt. The operation, which involved coordination with central agencies, marks the culmination of ‘Operation Nomad Hunt’, an intelligence-led international manhunt.
According to Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav, Jobanjit Singh, also known as Joban Billa, is wanted in multiple heinous criminal cases, including murder, attempt to murder, and offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and the Arms Act. The accused had been evading arrest by operating across multiple countries.
The Punjab Police, in coordination with the Overseas Fugitive Tracking & Extradition Cell (OFTEC) Punjab and central agencies, worked tirelessly to track down the fugitive gangster. The successful deportation of Jobanjit Singh is a testament to the police’s commitment to dismantling organised crime networks and ensuring that fugitives are brought to justice, regardless of their location.
The operation involved sustained surveillance, strategic intelligence gathering, and close coordination with national and international agencies. The Punjab Police remains committed to pursuing fugitives hiding anywhere in the world and bringing them to justice.
The successful operation is a major breakthrough against transnational organised crime, and the Punjab Police is determined to continue its efforts to dismantle such networks.
The deportation of Jobanjit Singh from Jakarta, Indonesia, marks a significant achievement for the Punjab Police and is a step towards ensuring that those involved in heinous crimes are held accountable.
