Neeraj BaliChandigarh, July 18 -- - A cross-border extortion racket run by North American gang syndicates in league with localized police units collapsed with the arrest of Tanda Station House Officer (SHO) Gurinderjit Singh Nagra.
The Punjab Police moved against Inspector Nagra late Friday night after federal intelligence shared by US agencies linked him directly to a multi-crore blackmail ring.
The criminal enterprise came to light during 'Operation Hardball', an anti-gang sweep executed jointly by the FBI and Canadian police forces. While cracking down on the overseas networks of jailed gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, investigators found communication logs linking a serving Punjab cop to the operation.
