Authorities in the United States, Canada, and Europe have carried out 'Operation Hardball.' This mission led to the arrest of 24 people and charges against 37 others linked to three Indian organized crime networks.

美國、加拿大與歐洲的當局執行了「硬球行動」(Operation Hardball)。此次行動導致 24 人被捕，另有 37 人被指控，皆與三個印度有組織犯罪網絡有關。

The legal cases focus on three groups: the Bishnoi enterprise, the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria group, and the Dhanda drug trafficking organization. Prosecutors claim that Lawrence Bishnoi led the Bishnoi syndicate from an Indian prison using illegal phones. He is accused of organizing a global campaign of extortion and targeted killings. A key part of the case is the June 2023 murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Officials assert that Bishnoi and his partner, Satinderjeet Singh, coordinated the killing to create a climate of fear among Indians living abroad, which helped them run their extortion schemes.

這些法律案件集中在三個集團：Bishnoi 企業、Jaggu Bhagwanpuria 集團以及 Dhanda 毒品販運組織。檢察官聲稱 Lawrence Bishnoi 在印度監獄中利用非法手機領導 Bishnoi 辛迪加。他被指控組織一場全球性的勒索與針對性殺戮行動。本案的一個關鍵部分是 2023 年 6 月在加拿大發生的 Hardeep Singh Nijjar 謀殺案。官員斷言 Bishnoi 及其合夥人 Satinderjeet Singh 協調了這次殺戮，以在海外居住的印度人之間製造恐懼氛圍，從而協助其執行勒索計劃。

At the same time, the operation targeted large-scale drug smuggling. Ravinder Singh Dhanda allegedly managed a complex network that moved large amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine from California into Canada using commercial trucks. Specifically, the Department of Justice reported the shipment of about 430 kilograms of cocaine between 2023 and 2024. Similarly, the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria organization is described as an international syndicate with activities across North America, Europe, and Oceania.

與此同時，該行動針對大規模毒品走私。Ravinder Singh Dhanda 涉嫌管理一個複雜的網絡，利用商業貨車將大量可卡因與冰毒從加州運往加拿大。具體而言，司法部報告指出，在 2023 年至 2024 年間運送了約 430 公斤的可卡因。同樣地，Jaggu Bhagwanpuria 組織被描述為一個國際辛迪加，活動範圍遍及北美、歐洲與大洋洲。

These events are happening during a time of political tension. Previously, Canada claimed that Indian government agents were involved in the Nijjar murder, which caused a diplomatic crisis. However, current charges emphasize the role of criminal gangs instead. Furthermore, relations are improving under Prime Minister Mark Carney, as Canada is now separating government actions from these criminal activities. Meanwhile, separate trials for four Indian nationals accused of the murder are expected to continue until 2028.

這些事件發生在政治緊張時期。先前加拿大聲稱印度政府特務參與了 Nijjar 謀殺案，導致外交危機。然而，目前的指控強調的是犯罪幫派的角色。此外，在總理 Mark Carney 的領導下，關係正逐步改善，因為加拿大目前將政府行為與這些犯罪活動區分開來。同時，四名被指控謀殺的印度國民的獨立審判預計將持續到 2028 年。

Law enforcement agencies are still searching for ten fugitives across the U.S., India, and Europe after seizing drugs, weapons, and cash.

在查封毒品、武器與現金後，執法部門目前仍在美國、印度與歐洲搜捕 10 名逃犯。
