An explosive report by Newsweek has shed light on how gangsters and organized crime figures wanted in India manage to conduct their nefarious operations from the United States and Canada. Fugitives allegedly exploited student visas, asylum claims, and illegal immigration to establish criminal networks that cross multiple borders.

Authorities argue that these criminals initially sought refuge in North America not to target locals, but for safe haven to orchestrate crimes back in India. Operating remotely, they can direct activities like executions, leveraging the slow wheels of justice and complex extradition processes to avoid capture.

The report underscores cooperation between Indian, US, and Canadian governments in describing these networks, albeit hindered by legal niceties. Using encrypted apps and cryptocurrency, these syndicates continue to adapt and expand. Despite the hurdles, law enforcement vows to intensify efforts against what has been deemed a transnational syndicate.
