Authorities in California and the FBI collaborated to probe eight Indian-origin suspects arrested in connection with a kidnapping and torture case. The case involved an international Punjabi street gang accused of operating a brutal extortion racket that spans from California to alleged murder plots in India. Investigating the suspects, including the wanted gang leader Pavittar Singh, revealed a sophisticated criminal network with ties to past Indian gang leaders arrested in the US. The suspects face serious charges, and a coordinated law enforcement operation led to significant findings including illegal weapons and cash. The authorities urge vigilance against such criminal activities and are working on extradition processes with international partners.
