A recent report by Newsweek outlines how Indian gangsters are allegedly leveraging asylum and student visas to establish and operate criminal networks from the United States and Canada. These individuals, wanted for various serious offenses in India, have reportedly found a safe haven in North America, allowing them to orchestrate crimes such as murder, extortion, and narcotics trafficking from afar. The report highlights that authorities in India, Canada, and the US describe these networks similarly, with the FBI labeling them as one of India's most wanted criminal organizations. Investigators have noted a shift in operational tactics, with gang leaders increasingly using encrypted communication and cryptocurrency to distance themselves from direct involvement in crimes. This 'hybrid model' allows them to command operations remotely while using local affiliates for execution. Despite India's repeated requests for extradition, legal and procedural challenges have hindered these efforts, complicating the enforcement of justice against these fugitives.
