Gangster Goldy Dhillon Detained in Spain in Connection with Chandigarh Murder CasePreviousNext

Goldy Dhillon, a foreign-based gangster wanted in multiple criminal cases including the June 13 murder of pharmacy cashier Janaki Das in Chandigarh's Sector 11, has been detained in Madrid, Spain. The arrest followed a coordinated international operation involving Punjab Police, central intelligence agencies, and Spanish authorities. Dhillon, linked to extortion, target killings, and threats against an AAP MLA, is among the National Investigation Agency's most wanted fugitives. Legal proceedings for his extradition to India are expected to begin.
