Indian authorities brought gangster Joginder Geong back to the country on Sunday after tracking his location to the Philippines. He has been booked in at least 24 cases and linked to designated terrorist Arsh Dalla. Geong first came under scrutiny amidst a Delhi Police investigation into the Kaushal Chaudhary and Davinder Bambhia crime syndicates.
According to investigators, the Bambhia syndicate had been working to facilitate criminal exchanges between Kaushal Chaudhary and pro-Khalistan elements abroad — particularly Lucky Patial and Arsh Dalla. Joginder Geong alias Joga Don was identified by the Delhi Police special cell as a critical off-shore node in manpower and logistics network fueling this terror-crime nexus.
Geong and his brother (now killed in police action) had also been involved in many criminal activities in northern India — spanning Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Delhi NCR.
The Delhi Police had subsequently worked in tandem with the Haryana Police to track down his location and monitor his activities in the Philippines. The two teams had then placed a joint request before central agencies to seek his deportation. Geong had been hiding in Bacold City with a fake ID when he was captured and brought back to India before being arrested.
