The Punjab Police said on Monday (March 10, 2025) that it has arrested an Indian-hero transnational drug Lord Lord, which is wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding the largest narcotics tour in Ludhiana.

Following a rift by the FBI, Bhinder, a native of village Mandiala in Batala, who was residing in Brampton in Canada, managed to give a slip to the FBI Sleiths and landed in India as a clandestin, Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said that Punjab Police had successfully tracked them and arrested them.
He was wanted by the FBI in one of the largest drug seizures in the US on 26 February 2025, where the agency arrested six of its colleagues and seized 391 kg Mentalfetamine, 109 kg cocaine, four sophisticated weapons and vehicles from their possession.

The arrest was made amidst the ongoing “Yudh Nasian Veeradh” (war against war) campaign of the Punjab government, launched on 25 February.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Tarn Abhimanu Rana, along with Deputy Inspector General of Police (Ferozpur Range) Swapan Sharma, said that preliminary investigation shows that Bhinder played an important role in transporting large consumers of drugs on international borders using trucks and trailers.
