A fugitive gangster associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was deported from the United States on Saturday in an operation coordinated by the CBI, officials said. Lakhvinder Kumar, who had an Interpol Red Notice issued against him, was brought to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, where he was arrested by the Haryana Police, they said.
Kumar was wanted in multiple criminal cases related to extortion, criminal intimidation, illegal possession and use of firearms, and attempt to murder, a CBI spokesperson said.
“Earlier, the CBI got the Red Notice published against Kumar through Interpol on October 26, 2024 on the request of Haryana Police. The subject was deported from the USA and arrived in India on October 25, 2025. He was taken into custody by a team of Haryana Police at Delhi airport,” the spokesperson added.
Red Notices issued by Interpol are circulated to law enforcement agencies worldwide to assist in tracking and locating wanted fugitives.
As the National Central Bureau (NCB) for Interpol in India, the CBI coordinates with all law enforcement agencies through Bharatpol, the national Interpol coordination platform, for tracking of the wanted fugitives.
