Punjab Police have brought wanted gangster Gurwinder Singh, alias Afridi, back to India from Ethiopia after a 10-month international manhunt. His return was carried out under Operation SHAHID, led by the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) with support from central agencies and Punjab Police's Overseas Fugitive Tracking and Extradition Cell. According to Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav, preliminary investigations suggest that Afridi was directing targeted killings, extortion-related firing incidents and other organised criminal activities in Punjab from abroad. He is allegedly associated with the Doni Bal-Prabh Dassuwal gang. The Punjab government had announced a ₹5 lakh reward for information leading to his arrest. (PC: News18)
