Two Indian Gangsters from Punjab, Haryana Nabbed in Angola

Indian nationals linked to organized crime in Punjab and Haryana were taken into custody by Angolan police on Thursday. The arrests were carried out in a joint operation involving local law‑enforcement agencies and Indian diplomatic officials. Authorities say the suspects were part of a network involved in smuggling and extortion activities across the border. The men are currently held in an Angolan police station pending further investigation and potential charges under local criminal law.

The Indian embassy in Angola has confirmed the arrests and is coordinating with local authorities to ensure the suspects’ legal rights are upheld. Officials from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs are reviewing the case and will determine whether extradition proceedings should be initiated. This incident underscores the growing cooperation between India and Angola in tackling transnational crime.
