Police said Singh is associated with the Goldy Dhillon gang, which is active in international crime and extortion. He reportedly has multiple cases registered against him in India. During the arrest, officers recovered a Chinese pistol along with cartridges. According to officials, Singh’s name surfaced during surveillance and intelligence-based investigation, prompting the Crime Branch to track and apprehend him before any further criminal activity could be executed.Investigators revealed that Singh is a close aide of Canada-based gangster Goldy Dhillon, who is believed to be running extortion rackets targeting businessmen and high-profile personalities abroad.
