On April 10, 2026, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) successfully repatriated Sahil Chauhan from Thailand. Chauhan, a member of the Bhuppi Rana gang, is wanted by Haryana Police for multiple serious offenses, including murder, attempt to murder, and dacoity. His criminal activities include a notable incident from January 4, 2017, when he allegedly fired at Monu Rang during a court hearing in Yamunanagar, Haryana. After serving a 10-year sentence, Chauhan absconded on bail and fled abroad. The Haryana police, with support from the CBI and Interpol, issued a Red Notice for his arrest. His return was coordinated through the CBI's Bhartapol initiative, which has successfully repatriated over 150 wanted criminals in recent years. Upon arrival at New Delhi International Airport, he was taken into custody by Haryana's Special Task Force, which emphasized his involvement in orchestrating contract killings.
