FBI Seeks Indian National Harmanveer Singh in International Drug Trafficking CasePreviousNext

The FBI has issued a federal arrest warrant for Indian national Harmanveer Singh, wanted for his alleged involvement in drug trafficking with the Canada-based Ravinder Dhanda Organized Crime Group. Charged with conspiracy to distribute, possess, and export controlled substances, Singh is linked to smuggling cocaine and methamphetamine across the US, Canada, and Mexico. This follows Operation Hard Ball, a coordinated international law enforcement effort targeting multiple India-based transnational crime gangs, resulting in 24 arrests across the US, Canada, and Europe.
