Hong Kong Court extradites Punjab fugitive Ramanjit Singh

Chandigarh: A Hong Kong court has extradited fugitive Ramanjit Singh, alias Romi, the key conspirator in Punjab’s Nabha jailbreak as well as several other major crimes, officials said on Wednesday. The fugitive, a big fish in the drug trade, was wanted in several sensational heinous crime cases, such as criminal conspiracy in the maximum-security Nabha jailbreak on November 27, 2016. He was arrested by Punjab Police in June 2016 following the recovery of weapons and fake credit cards with skimmed data of dormant accounts of different banks. He got bail in August 2016 and fled to Hong Kong after violating bail orders conditions, a police official told. A cousin of hardcore criminal Ramanjit, alias Rami Mashana, who is convicted in several murder cases, Romi developed links with many seasoned criminals and terrorists in the Nabha jail where he was lodged following his arrest. Ramanjit Singh hatched the conspiracy to help six hardcore criminals, including two terrorists, escape from the Nabha jail. (IANS)
