Chandigarh, January 7. In a resounding strike against organised crime, the Special Task Force (STF) of Haryana Police has once again demonstrated its operational precision, global coordination capabilities and unyielding commitment by successfully securing the deportation of wanted gangster Aman Kumar alias Aman Bhainswal from the United States. This marks a historic achievement and stands as a strong testament to Haryana Police’s international outreach, persistent surveillance efforts, and strategic enforcement ability. This is the sixth successful extradition carried out by STF since 2025 and the second major operation executed from the United States, significantly strengthening the State’s anti-crime enforcement framework.
*DGP Ajay Singhal’s stern warning to fugitives*
Reacting to the success of this high-level operation, DGP Ajay Singhal issued a strong warning to criminals and fugitives who believe they can escape the law by crossing borders or adopting forged identities. He said, “Those who think they can hide beyond national boundaries or evade the law through fake identities must understand that no one can escape the reach of Haryana Police. Every fugitive—whether in India or abroad—will be brought to justice. Haryana is a State of law and order, not a refuge for criminals.” His message signals even more stringent action against organised crime in the coming months.
*Criminal network shattered after years of tracking*
Aman Bhainswal has been deeply involved in cases of firing, murder, attempt to murder, extortion and illegal arms activities across Haryana and the Delhi-NCR region. He operated an independent criminal network that extended across Sonipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar and the national capital. A total of 10 serious criminal cases are registered against him in Haryana and Delhi. Despite being a declared offender, he fled abroad using forged documentation in an attempt to evade prosecution. However, STF’s sustained tracking, technical surveillance and coordinated international strategy forced this escape route to collapse.
*Forgery, fake passport and escape trail exposed*
Investigations revealed that Bhainswal fraudulently obtained a passport using forged documentation based on an East Delhi address. On 20 June 2024, he travelled to Kuwait using this illegal passport and subsequently entered the United States. Following this discovery, a case under the Indian Justice Code (IJC) and the Passport Act was registered in Gohana. A Look-Out Circular (LOC) was issued, an Interpol Red Corner Notice (RCN) was secured, and he was formally declared a proclaimed offender. Each stage of this process reflects the STF’s strong legal precision, vigilance and structured execution.
*High-level coordination with international agencies*
The extradition of Aman Bhainswal is a clear demonstration of STF Haryana’s expanded global strategy aimed at apprehending fugitives sheltering overseas. Through advanced monitoring, intelligence exchanges and cross-border operational alignment, the STF ensured that Bhainswal’s presence and activities were continuously tracked. This success has been made possible through seamless cooperation between Indian authorities, Interpol, US enforcement agencies and State Police units—an outstanding example of strategic trust, technology-driven surveillance and rapid information sharing.
*STF’s commitment and future strategy*
The extradition of Aman Bhainswal reinforces STF Haryana’s unwavering determination to dismantle criminal syndicates and ensure that no fugitive remains beyond the reach of law. This achievement further strengthens the State’s aggressive and targeted crackdown on organised crime. DGP Singhal reaffirmed that STF Haryana will continue its relentless efforts with the same resolve to neutralise criminal networks, safeguard public safety and uphold peace and order in the State.
