Authorities have launched a significant operation targeting transnational organized crime linked to Indian crime syndicates, resulting in the arrest of at least 24 individuals, including members of the notorious Bishnoi gang. Federal prosecutors announced charges against various operatives for a range of serious crimes, including murder, extortion, and kidnapping, that extend from India to the United States and Canada. Notably, a jailed Indian gang leader has been charged with orchestrating the assassination of a Sikh separatist in Canada, an event that has heightened tensions between Canada and India. Federal officials detailed the ramifications of these operations, emphasizing their commitment to dismantling international crime networks that utilize California as a hub for drug trafficking and violence.
