To crack down on interstate and international gangs, for the first time Delhi Police is bringing the dreaded fugitive criminal Deepak Boxer to India from Mexico. This is probably for the first time in the history of Delhi Police, that a massive, multi-continental and joint police and administrative effort is bringing a dangerous fugitive back to India from Mexico.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah committed to root out all kinds of interstate and international criminal-terrorist nexus and organizations. Shri Shah holds regular review meetings in this regard with the police and other concerned agencies.
In furtherance to this, after reviewing work of Delhi Police in August, 2022, the Union Home Minister had given specific instructions to the Special Cell and Crime Branch to legally pursue organized criminals and terrorists trying to hide anywhere in the country or abroad and bring them to justice. Arresting the dangerous fugitive criminal Deepak Boxer from Mexico and bringing him to India is a big success in this direction.
The operation was launched after the Special Cell of Delhi Police received a tip-off about the absconding of wanted criminal and dreaded gangster Deepak Boxer, out of India. Deepak Boxer, a very dangerous criminal of Lawrence Bishnoi gang, is wanted by Delhi Police in the following cases:

Due to continuous crimes, a case (number 73/23) was registered against Deepak Boxer and his gang on 16/03/2023 in Police Station, Special Cell, under which the present operation was carried out. In this case it was resolved that Deepak Pahal alias Boxer, S/o Suresh Singh Pahal, R/o Gandhi Colony, Gannaur, Sonipat, Haryana has to be traced and arrested from any corner of the world.
Extensive interrogation and technical procedures lasting almost a month revealed that Deepak, after fleeing India on a fake passport, reached Mexico in the South American continent, after making stops in several countries. His intention behind reaching Mexico was to reach America with the help of human traffickers where he would join his other associates and from there he would continue to run the activities of his organized crime group in Delhi and neighboring states.

After the confirmation of Deepak's presence in Mexico, in the second phase of this operation, the process of finding Deepak in Mexico started in mutual cooperation with USA's FBI and Mexico Police. After this, it was learned from a deeply-placed source that Deepak got a fake passport made in the name of a Ravi Antil from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh and fled abroad from Kolkata airport in January, 2023.
For about a week, all the old comrades of Deepak, his criminal associates and close relatives were thoroughly interrogated. Through highly complex technical processes, the information derived from the interrogation was authenticated and shared with Mexican and FBI officials in near real time, despite a full 12-hour time-zone difference. Acting on this information, Deepak was traced to the beach city of Cancun in Mexico.
Cancun is considered a notorious city due to the huge presence of human traffickers and the narcotics mafia. Despite the adverse circumstances, the ground work continued with the cooperation of the Mexican police and FBI agents. Interpol, CBI and Delhi Police officers were also involved in this whole process, due to which mutual coordination and continuous exchange of information went on.
After Deepak’s arrival in Mexico through human trafficking routes with the help of a fake passport, the Mexican administration was requested to deport him as soon as possible. The Indian Embassy in Mexico City also joined the process, and a team of experienced field officers from the Delhi Police was immediately sent to Mexico City.
The work of this team was to coordinate with the Indian Embassy, Mexico Administration and Police and FBI so that the proceedings of his deportation could be completed before any kind of legal hindrance from Deepak's criminal network. Deepak is being brought to New Delhi via Istanbul in Turkey. In this important international effort to bring a dangerous fugitive criminal Deepak Boxer to India, the major intelligence agencies of both the countries, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of External Affairs, Embassies of various countries, Interpol, CBI, Delhi-based officials and officials of FBI and Mexico Police have supported the Delhi Police at every step.
