NEW DELHI- In a success for law enforcement agencies, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has secured the return of wanted fugitive Lakhvinder Kumar from the United States, the CBI said on October 25.

Kumar, a key associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was deported and was immediately taken into custody by a Haryana Police team at Delhi Airport.

According to the CBI, Kumar faces multiple criminal cases in Haryana related to extortion, intimidation, illegal possession and use of firearms, and attempt to murder.

The CBI has coordinated the return of over 130 wanted criminals in recent years through such international cooperation, it said.

Last month, CBI in collaboration with Haryana Police, MEA and MHA successfully coordinated return of wanted fugitive Mainpal Dhilla alias Sonu Kumar on September 2from Cambodia.

He is a notorious criminal wanted by Haryana Police in a number of cases.

Similarly, in collaboration with Gujarat Police and Central government Ministries, CBI last month succeeded in bringing back a fugitive from the UAE in connection with a money laundering and tax evasion case registered in Gujarat. (IANS)
