Hari Boxer detained in California, Rajasthan Police say

Harichand Jat, known as Hari or Harry Boxer, was detained in California by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after Rajasthan Police and international agencies tracked him, Rajasthan Police said. The alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang operative is wanted in criminal cases in Rajasthan. Police said efforts to bring him to India through legal coordination are underway; no completion date has been reported.

Rajasthan Police credited its Anti-Gangster Task Force with sustained intelligence gathering and coordination with international agencies. The agency said Boxer fled India in April 2023 and continued to coordinate criminal activity from abroad. Police described him as a wanted figure in cases involving attempted murder, extortion, organised crime and illegal possession of firearms.

Police said investigators traced his movements through Dubai and the Dominican Republic before he entered the United States via Mexico. He was eventually located in California. Rajasthan Police also said it worked with the Central Bureau of Investigation and Interpol, sharing information with foreign authorities as it sought to establish his whereabouts.
