Terrorist Captured in US Soil
Harpreet Singh, an alleged member of foreign terrorist groups, was arrested in Sacramento by the FBI and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrest, stating Singh had illegally entered the US and used burner phones to evade authorities. Singh is accused of planning attacks on police stations in both India and the US.
International Cooperation Pays Off
Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav hailed the arrest as a milestone in dismantling Pakistan-backed terror networks.

FBI Director Assures Justice
FBI Director Kash Patel praised the joint efforts of US and Indian agencies, stating, “Justice will be done.” He emphasized the FBI’s commitment to pursuing perpetrators of violence regardless of their location. The arrest followed extensive coordination between FBI Sacramento and Indian counterparts.
