The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has declared Indian-origin Satinderjeet Singh wanted for his involvement in targeted killings, extortion and drug-related crimes.

According to the US FBI, Satinderjeet Singh is wanted for his links to the Lawrence Bishnoi organised crime group.

The FBI has described the Indian national, who may be hiding in California or Canada, as extremely violent, armed and dangerous.

The FBI said the Canadian government designated the Bishnoi gang, operating in India, as a terrorist organisation in September last year.

According to US officials, the Bishnoi gang, including Satinderjit Singh, was also involved in the killing of Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.
