The FBI has placed Indian national Amritpal Singh on its Most Wanted fugitive list, accusing him of playing a key role in a transnational drug trafficking network operating across North America.
The agency said a federal arrest warrant for the 30-year-old was issued on June 23 by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles. He is charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances and conspiracy to export controlled substances.
According to the FBI, Singh is wanted for his alleged involvement with the Ravinder Dhanda Organized Crime Group, a transnational criminal organization based in Vancouver, Canada. Authorities allege the group smuggled large quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine on behalf of drug trafficking organizations operating across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The FBI said Singh is accused of participating in a conspiracy to traffic cocaine and methamphetamine as part of the organized crime network. His addition to the Most Wanted list comes as part of Operation Hard Ball, an ongoing FBI crackdown targeting the Ravinder Dhanda Organized Crime Group.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Operation Hard Ball stems from a years-long federal investigation into Indian organized crime syndicates that “engage in racketeering, targeted killings, shootings, extortion, the trafficking of bulk quantities of narcotics across international borders,” and other crimes around the world “whose impact is especially felt on the Indian community.”
A report by The Indo-Canadian Voice described the Ravinder Dhanda Organized Crime Group as a transnational criminal organization allegedly involved in a conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances with intent to distribute them, as well as a conspiracy to export controlled substances.

The FBI identified Singh as an Indian citizen born on Jan. 7, 1996, and released a photograph taken in 2024 to assist in locating him. The agency has urged anyone with information about Singh’s whereabouts to contact law enforcement immediately. The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.
“Amritpal Singh is #wanted by the #FBI for his alleged involvement in a transnational criminal organization known as The Ravinder Dhanda Organized Crime Group. The group is based out of Vancouver, Canada, and allegedly smuggled bulk quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine for drug trafficking organizations throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico,” the FBI’s Most Wanted X account said.
Officials have not disclosed Singh’s current whereabouts but noted that the alleged crime group’s links to Canada and Mexico could allow members to move across borders with relative ease.
