The Trump administration has apprehended Harpreet Singh — also known as “Happy Passia” — one of India’s most-wanted fugitives, connected to a series of violent terror attacks targeting police stations and public officials.
Singh, an alleged operative of the Khalistani terrorist outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), was arrested by the FBI after a coordinated international operation led by FBI Sacramento in cooperation with Indian intelligence services.
BKI has long been classified as a foreign terrorist organization in multiple countries, including India and Canada, for its violent campaign to carve out a separate Sikh state by force.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrest and issued a strong statement:
“CAPTURED: HARPREET SINGH, part of an alleged foreign terrorist gang here illegally in the United States, who we believe was involved in planning multiple attacks on police stations both in India and the United States.
FBI Sacramento conducted the investigation coordinating with our partners locally as well as in India.
Excellent work from all, and justice will be done.
The FBI will continue finding those who perpetrate violence — no matter where they are.”

Singh hails from Passia village in Punjab’s Amritsar district. He briefly resided in the United Kingdom before reportedly entering the U.S. illegally via Mexico in 2021 through Biden’s open border.
Indian authorities have linked him to at least 17 criminal cases, including charges under anti-terror and drug laws. Notably, he is accused of orchestrating grenade attacks on police stations and a 2024 attack on a retired police officer’s residence in Chandigarh, according to the Times of India.
Singh is believed to be a key operative of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), a banned Khalistani terrorist group with alleged ties to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
He is suspected of collaborating with Harwinder Singh Sandhu, alias “Rinda,” a Pakistan-based terrorist, to plan and execute attacks in Punjab.
