US federal prosecutors, working together with authorities from Canada and Europe, have released charges against 37 people. These individuals are linked to three criminal organizations based in India as part of a mission called 'Operation Hard Ball'.

美國聯邦檢察官與加拿大及歐洲當局合作，已公布對 37 人的指控。這些人與三個位於印度的犯罪組織有關，是名為「硬球行動」（Operation Hard Ball）任務的一部分。

The main part of the legal case focuses on the Lawrence Bishnoi group. Prosecutors claim that Bishnoi, who is currently in an Indian prison, used illegal phones to manage a global network involved in drug trafficking, extortion, and planned killings. Specifically, they assert that Bishnoi and his commander in North America, Satinderjeet Singh, organized the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada in June 2023. This is an important detail because it suggests the killing was done by criminals rather than government agents, which contradicts earlier claims made by former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Lisa Moreland of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police emphasized that the investigation found no evidence that Indian officials were involved.

本法律案件的重點在於 Lawrence Bishnoi 集團。檢察官聲稱，目前在印度監獄服刑的 Bishnoi 使用非法電話管理一個涉及販毒、勒索及計劃謀殺的全球網絡。具體而言，他們主張 Bishnoi 及其在北美的指揮官 Satinderjeet Singh 策劃了 2023 年 6 月在加拿大發生的 Hardeep Singh Nijjar 謀殺案。這是一個重要的細節，因為它表明這次謀殺是由犯罪分子而非政府特務所為，這與加拿大前總理 Justin Trudeau 之前的說法相矛盾。加拿大皇家騎警的 Lisa Moreland 強調，調查發現沒有證據顯示印度官員參與其中。

At the same time, charges have been filed against the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria and Ravinder Singh Dhanda groups. The Bhagwanpuria group is accused of using corrupt officials to create fake criminal charges against rivals to steal money. For example, a Punjab Police officer is accused of trying to extort $400,000 from a family in California by threatening them with false murder charges. Meanwhile, the Dhanda network focused on moving large amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine from California into Canada. Consequently, these operations led to the seizure of about 1,000 kilograms of cocaine and various weapons, and 24 of the 37 suspects are now in custody.

與此同時，Jaggu Bhagwanpuria 和 Ravinder Singh Dhanda 集團也被提起訴訟。Bhagwanpuria 集團被指控利用腐敗官員對競爭對手製造虛假刑事指控以謀財。例如，一名旁遮普邦警察被指控以虛假謀殺指控威脅加州的一個家庭，試圖勒索 40 萬美元。同時，Dhanda 網絡則專注於將大量可卡因和甲基安非他命從加州運往加拿大。因此，這些行動導致約 1,000 公斤可卡因及各種武器被沒收，37 名嫌疑人中有 24 人目前被拘留。

Authorities are currently working to catch the remaining fugitives and are trying to bring the imprisoned gang leaders to the United States to face trial.

當局目前正努力緝捕其餘在逃人員，並試圖將被監禁的幫派領袖引導至美國接受審判。
