Jaipur, October 14:
On information provided by the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) of Rajasthan, U.S. agencies detained gangster Amit Sharma alias Jack Pandit, who was linked with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and currently associated with the Rohit Godara gang. The detention was made possible through the CBI Interpol branch, which informed the American authorities. Efforts are now underway to bring him back to India.
Under the direction of Additional Director General of Police (Crime Branch/AGTF) Mr. Dinesh M.N., the task force has been actively pursuing actions against organized criminal networks. The fugitive Amit Sharma alias Jack Pandit, a notorious criminal of the Rohit Godara gang, had been operating from abroad and was handling the gang’s financial operations. He managed extortion funds received overseas and facilitated the transfer of money to gang members in India through various channels.
In addition, Amit Sharma helped gang members fleeing India to find refuge abroad, arranged fake documents, and provided them with financial assistance. When Rohit Godara fled India, it was Amit Pandit who organized his stay overseas. Initially, Amit Sharma was involved with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, from which intelligence about his criminal activities emerged.
Following this, an operation was initiated under the supervision of then Deputy Inspector General of Police Mr. Yogesh Yadav, CID (CB), and is currently being continued under Deputy Inspector General of Police Mr. Deepak Bhargav, CID (CB), Rajasthan, Jaipur, with the active participation of the AGTF team.
Amit Sharma alias Jack Pandit, son of Vinod Sharma, resident of 15-Z, Police Station Matili Rathan, District Sri Ganganagar, was wanted in several criminal cases. Taking advantage of an opportunity, he fled the country and continued working for the gang abroad. The AGTF team gathered intelligence on his foreign presence and activities.
Superintendent of Police, Sri Ganganagar, Mrs. Amrita Duhan, also collected crucial information on his movements and initiated steps to curb his activities. According to the gathered intelligence, Amit Sharma traveled from India to Dubai, then to Spain, and eventually reached the United States.
Based on these inputs, the CBI Interpol branch sent a Red Corner Notice and related documents to the U.S. authorities, who subsequently detained him and have begun legal proceedings.
