Punjab Cop Linked to Extortion Racket Targeting NRIs Held in Connection with AAP Worker's Murder The arrest of Inspector Gurinderjit Singh Nagra, a former police station head in Punjab, has exposed a deep seated web of corruption within the state's police force.
The alleged involvement of a high ranking officer in an international extortion racket targeting Indian origin families in the US is a stark reminder of the rot that has taken hold.
According to a US indictment, Nagra was named as part of Operation Hard Ball, which targeted individuals who had been threatened by associates of Jaggu Bhagwanpuria.
