NIA arrests key Lawrence Bishnoi aide Vikramjeet Singh upon his deportation from UAE

In a statement, the agency said a team from the NIA had gone to the UAE to facilitate the deportation. “Brar was involved in the killing of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, besides targeted killings of innocent people and businessmen. He was also involved in cases of smuggling of weapons and extortion in India with the help of dreaded gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar and others,” an NIA spokesperson said.

“Absconding since 2020, Brar was wanted in at least 11 cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion under various sections of IPC as well as the Arms Act. Eleven lookout notices had been issued against him by competent authority on request by various State Police, including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi,” the spokesperson said.

The arrest was made on Tuesday in a terror-gangster conspiracy case. “Brar was operating as a communications control room for the Bishnoi terror gang from the UAE. Probe revealed that Brar had actively helped Goldy Brar in executing the killing of Moosewala.”
