Canadian authorities have taken into custody Amritpal Singh Bath, a known gangster, following a Red Corner notice, and Indian officials are preparing to extradite him to Punjab.
Canadian law‑enforcement agencies announced the arrest of Amritpal Singh Bath, also identified as Harpreet Singh, after issuing a Red Corner notice that listed him as a wanted individual. The detention took place in Canada, where Bath has been under surveillance for alleged gang‑related activities.
Indian police and diplomatic channels have been alerted to the development, and officials are now working on the legal steps required to secure his extradition to Punjab. The cooperation underscores the ongoing coordination between the two countries on trans‑national crime.
The case draws attention because Bath is linked to several criminal networks operating across borders. His capture is expected to aid investigations into organized crime groups that have targeted communities in both India and abroad, and it highlights the effectiveness of international notices in curbing such threats.
