CBI Arrests Singapore Scam Accused Harnek Singh After Deportation from US
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Harnek Singh, accused in a 2013 Singapore-related cyber fraud case, upon his deportation from the United States to India. Singh had been absconding since 2013 and was wanted under an Interpol Red Notice and Look Out Circular. The case involves fraudsters impersonating Singapore immigration officials to extort money from Indian nationals via Western Union transfers. Singh allegedly operated the money transfer outlet used to receive the funds. Co-accused Aditya Bhardwaj and Deepak Jain were convicted in 2025.
