Jagga’s gang is primarily active in Punjab and Rajasthan, and he has more than a dozen cases registered against him
28 October, 2025 – Abohar : The Rajasthan Police’s Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) played a key role in apprehending gangster Jagdeep Singh alias Jagga in the US. Jagga, a former active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and currently associated with the Rohit Godara gang, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) near the Canada-USA border.
The AGTF confirmed this and said that the legal process for Jagga’s extradition to India has been initiated.
Official sources said that Jagga, a resident of Dhurkot, Punjab, had been absconding for a long time and AGTF teams were actively searching for him.
Jagga’s gang is primarily active in Punjab and Rajasthan. He has more than a dozen cases registered against him in Punjab and is a proclaimed offender by the court.
In March 2017, Jagga was jailed with Lawrence Bishnoi and Anmol Bishnoi in connection with the firing and death threats against Dr Sunil Chandak in Jodhpur’s Pratap Nagar police station area. He was also found involved in the murder of Vasudev Asrani in Jodhpur’s Sardarpura police station area in September 2017. After getting bail, he fled to Dubai about three years ago and illegally travelled to the States.
This is the second major achievement of the Rajasthan AGTF this month. Earlier, Amit Sharma alias Jack Pandit, a key member of the Lawrence Bishnoi–Rohit Godara–Goldy Brar gang network, was detained in the US following an international operation coordinated by AGTF and CBI’s Interpol branch. Sharma, a resident of village 15Z, Matili Rathan, district Sriganganagar, was wanted in several high-profile cases, including extortion, firing, illegal arms supply and conspiracy to murder.
Once a key operative of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Amit Sharma later aligned himself with Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar. His primary role was financial coordination, handling extortion money and hawala transactions abroad, and funding criminal activities in India.
According to official sources, American agencies detained the gangster after receiving a Red Corner Notice and intelligence inputs from Indian authorities. Efforts are now underway to bring him back to India to face trial in multiple criminal cases registered in Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana.
Sources said that under the direction of Dinesh MN, Additional Director General of Police (Crime & AGTF), Rajasthan, the AGTF traced Amit Sharma’s movements through Dubai, Spain, and several other countries before reaching the US.
