Punjab Police Deport Fugitive Gangster Joban Billa from Indonesia After Six-Month Manhunt
Punjab Police, in coordination with central agencies, secured the deportation of fugitive gangster Jobanjit Singh alias Joban Billa from Indonesia after a six-month international manhunt named Operation Nomad Hunt. Billa, wanted in multiple criminal cases including four murders, attempt to murder, narcotics, and arms offences, had been evading arrest by operating across several countries. The Anti-Gangster Task Force and Overseas Fugitive Tracking and Extradition Cell played key roles in his capture. Authorities will now investigate his alleged overseas criminal network and links to organised crime in Punjab.
