Indian national Amritpal Singh has been placed on the US Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Most Wanted list for his alleged role in an international drug trafficking network that investigators claim operated across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
According to the FBI, Singh is wanted for his alleged association with the Ravinder Dhanda organised crime group, a Vancouver-based transnational criminal network under investigation for large-scale narcotics trafficking across North America.
Investigators allege that the syndicate transported significant quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine on behalf of drug trafficking organisations operating in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Wanted Under Operation Hardball
The FBI said Singh is accused of participating in a conspiracy to traffic cocaine and methamphetamine as part of the organised criminal network.
His inclusion on the FBI's Most Wanted list comes as authorities continue Operation Hardball, an investigation aimed at dismantling the alleged drug trafficking activities of the Ravinder Dhanda crime group.
The agency said a federal arrest warrant for Singh was issued by a court in Los Angeles on June 23.
FBI Appeals for Public Assistance
The FBI has not disclosed Singh's current whereabouts.
It identified him as an Indian national born on January 7, 1996, and released a photograph taken in 2024 to assist in locating him.
The bureau has appealed to members of the public to provide any information regarding Singh's whereabouts. The investigation is being led by the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office.
