Babbar Khalsa terrorist Parminder Pindi extradited from UAE

A Babbar Khalsa International terrorist, involved in multiple heinous crimes, has been extradited from the UAE, said Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav on Saturday.

Parminder Singh alias Pindi, a close aide of foreign-based terrorists Harwinder Singh alias Rinda and Happy Passia, has been brought from Abu Dhabi in the UAE in close coordination with the central agencies, the DGP said in a post on X.

He said Pindi was involved in multiple heinous crimes, including petrol bomb attacks, violent assaults and extortions in Batala, Gurdaspur.

“Acting swiftly on a red corner notice (RCN) requested by the Batala police, a dedicated four-member team led by a senior police officer travelled to the UAE on September 24, coordinated with the Ministry of External Affairs and the UAE authorities.

“After completing all legal formalities, the police team successfully brought the accused back to face justice,” said Yadav.

Parminder Singh alias Pindi was actively involved in criminal and terror-related activities for several years leading up to 2023, with his operations intensifying in the Batala–Gurdaspur region.

He was identified as the local handler of a terror funding module backed by Pakistan-based terrorist Harwinder Singh Rinda and gangster Happy Passia, and was directly involved in orchestrating attacks on liquor vends in September and October 2023. Following these incidents, a 10-day operation led to the arrest of five of his operatives.

After fleeing India, Pindi remained absconding for nearly a year, until a Red Corner Notice was issued by Interpol on June 13, 2025, at the request of Punjab Police. He was arrested in the UAE and extradited to India on September 26.
