FBI Lists Punjab Natives Gurpreet Singh and Amritpal Singh in Transnational Crime CasesPreviousNext

The FBI has added Gurpreet Singh of Punjab to its most wanted list, accusing him of involvement in the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria organised crime group engaged in drug trafficking, illegal arms conspiracy, and racketeering across multiple countries, including the US. A federal arrest warrant was issued on June 25, 2026. Separately, the family of another Punjab native, Amritpal Singh, also listed by the FBI posthumously for alleged drug smuggling, denies the charges and has requested an investigation into his finances. Both cases relate to transnational criminal networks originating from Punjab.
