FBI Adds Indian Gangster Major Singh to Most Wanted List Over Transnational CrimePreviousNext

The FBI has added Indian national Major Singh, a key operative of the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang, to its Most Wanted list. He faces charges including racketeering conspiracy, unlicensed firearms dealing, and drug distribution conspiracy linked to a transnational criminal organisation originating in Punjab and operating in California and elsewhere. A federal arrest warrant was issued on June 25, 2026. US authorities allege the gang's involvement in drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. The allegations remain unproven in court, and the FBI seeks public assistance for information.
