The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has coordinated the return of wanted fugitive Parminder Singh, aka Nirmal Singh, from the United Arab Emirates through the Interpol channels.

The accused was wanted by the Punjab police in a case of alleged extortion, raising funds for terrorist acts, attempt to murder and criminal intimidation. He had fled from India and had been absconding since then.

The International Police Cooperation Unit of CBI collaborated with the ministries of External and Home Affairs, the Abu Dhabi National Central Bureau and the Punjab police to get back the accused on Friday. He was escorted by a team of the Punjab police from the UAE.

Earlier, the CBI had obtained an Interpol Red Notice issued in the case on June 13, 2025, at the request of the State police. Subsequently, Parminder Singh was arrested by the UAE authorities and a decision was made to allow his extradition to India.
