The upcoming deportation of fugitive gangster Venkatesh Garg marks a significant development in the collaboration between Indian security agencies and international law enforcement. Garg, who is reportedly affiliated with the Kapil Sangwan gang, was apprehended in Georgia and is expected to arrive in New Delhi on June 11, 2026. He is facing over 12 criminal cases, encompassing serious offences such as murder, extortion, and armed robbery, primarily in northern India.

Involvement in Notable Crimes

Garg has gained notoriety for his alleged involvement in the assassination of a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader in Gurugram. Following the execution of this high-profile murder, he is said to have fled India under an assumed identity, using a fraudulent passport to establish a new base in Georgia. Reports indicate that during his time abroad, he formed strategic alliances with other criminals, including Kapil Sangwan, also known as Nandu, a prominent figure in the underworld.

Authorities identified Garg as a major player in various criminal enterprises while he evaded capture from overseas. His connection to the murder of the BSP leader has increased the urgency for his arrest. In addition, Indian law enforcement, specifically the Haryana Police, had previously issued a bounty of Rs 2 lakh for information leading to his capture, highlighting the seriousness of his crimes. An Interpol Red Corner Notice was also placed against him, facilitating international awareness of his fugitive status.

Further investigations revealed that Garg was involved in a sophisticated cross-border extortion racket, using social media platforms to coordinate illegal activities. Operating from Eastern Europe, he is alleged to have recruited local youths and hired shooters from Haryana, Delhi, and Rajasthan to carry out targeted killings and extort money from businessmen in India, creating a network that spanned several regions. This modus operandi allowed him to maintain a significant degree of control over his criminal activities while outside the country.

Collaboration Between Agencies for Extradition

The successful apprehension of Garg in November 2025, following concerted efforts by Indian security agencies, local Georgian authorities, and international police networks, represents a vital achievement in combating transnational crime. Cooperation among these entities was essential in tracking Garg’s movements and ultimately arresting him. After his detention, a specialised Indian police team was dispatched to manage the legal processes associated with his extradition.

Officials in India affirm that Garg’s return signifies a noteworthy advancement in the ongoing campaign against fugitive gangsters operating beyond Indian borders. The complexities of such extraditions often require extensive coordination and legal preparation, but the progress made in this case demonstrates the commitment of Indian authorities to reclaim justice for the victims of gangster-led violence.

The deportation of Venkatesh Garg is expected to have broader implications for organised crime in India, as it may serve as a deterrent to those considering fleeing the country to evade prosecution. His case underscores the challenges law enforcement agencies face in dismantling intricate networks of crime that span multiple countries. As law enforcement continues to enhance its collaborative efforts with international partners, further operations may be expected to tackle similar cases in the future.
