Indian gangster Himanshu Bhau has been taken into US immigration custody while he remains wanted for several murder cases back home.
The Indian underworld figure Himanshu Bhau, who is listed as a wanted criminal in India, has been placed under US immigration custody. Authorities in the United States have detained him as part of immigration enforcement, pending further legal steps.
Indian law enforcement agencies have long sought Bhau for his alleged involvement in multiple murder cases across the country. The exact number of cases and the jurisdictions involved have not been disclosed, but the charges are serious enough to keep him on the national wanted list.
The detention underscores ongoing cooperation between Indian police and foreign agencies in tracking fugitives who flee abroad. Bhau's status in the US will likely be reviewed in light of the pending murder investigations in India, and extradition proceedings may follow if formal requests are made.
No further details about the location of his custody or the timeline for any court proceedings have been released at this stage.
