CBI Brings Back Fugitive Parminder Singh From UAE Via INTERPOL Channels

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 charges, including extortion, offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for raising funds for terrorist acts, attempt to murder, and criminal intimidation. He had fled from India and remained absconding until his recent apprehension.

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, worked together to successfully bring back Parminder Singh to India on 26 September 2025. Upon his arrival, he was escorted by a team from the Punjab Police.

Earlier, on 13 June 2025, the CBI secured the issuance of a Red Notice for Parminder Singh through INTERPOL at the request of the Punjab Police. Subsequently, he was arrested by UAE authorities, who decided to extradite him to India.

Red Notices issued by INTERPOL serve as international alerts circulated among law enforcement agencies worldwide to track and apprehend wanted criminals. As the National Central Bureau for INTERPOL in India, the CBI coordinates with various Indian law enforcement agencies through BHARATPOL to facilitate assistance and cooperation through INTERPOL channels.

In recent years, more than 130 wanted criminals have been successfully repatriated to India through coordinated efforts via INTERPOL, highlighting the effectiveness of international police cooperation in combating cross-border crime.
