Police authorities in the United States, Canada, and Europe have started a joint operation called 'Operation Hard Ball.' This mission aims to destroy international criminal networks that originate in Punjab.

美國、加拿大與歐洲的警方已展開一項名為「硬球行動」（Operation Hard Ball）的聯合行動。此次任務旨在摧毀源自旁遮普邦的國際犯罪網絡。

Operation Hard Ball has already led to 37 formal charges and the arrest of 27 people across North America and Europe. The operation focuses on gangs involved in violent crime, extortion, and the illegal transport of drugs, such as cocaine and methamphetamine, across the Canada-U.S. border. Among the key figures mentioned is Lawrence Bishnoi; U.S. officials claim that Bishnoi used smuggled phones to manage his gang's international growth while serving time in an Indian prison.

「硬球行動」已導致北美與歐洲共有 37 項正式指控，以及 27 人被捕。該行動重點針對涉及暴力犯罪、勒索，以及在加拿大與美國邊境非法運送可卡因與冰毒等毒品的幫派。其中提到的關鍵人物包括 Lawrence Bishnoi；美國官員聲稱，Bishnoi 在印度監獄服刑期間，利用走私手機來管理其幫派的國際擴張。

Furthermore, the investigation highlights the involvement of Gurinderjit Singh Nagra, a police inspector from Punjab. U.S. federal charges claim that Nagra worked with the Bhagwanpuria gang to extort a family living in California. It is alleged that Nagra used his official position to threaten the family with fake murder charges and demanded about $400,000. Although the Punjab Police have removed Nagra from his active duties during the investigation, U.S. officials have emphasized their plan to bring him to the U.S. for trial.

此外，調查凸顯了旁遮普邦一名警察督察 Gurinderjit Singh Nagra 的牽涉。美國聯邦指控稱，Nagra 與 Bhagwanpuria 幫派合作，勒索一個居住在加州的家庭。據稱，Nagra 利用其職權，以偽造謀殺指控威脅該家庭，並要求約 40 萬美元。儘管旁遮普警方在調查期間已將 Nagra 停職，但美國官員強調，他們計劃將其移交至美國受審。

At the same time, diplomatic relations between Washington and New Delhi are continuing. State Department officials are optimistic that a new trade agreement will be finished soon, following talks between trade ministers from both countries. While the U.S. intends to request the extradition of several Indian citizens under a 1997 treaty, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs has not yet given an official response.

與此同時，華盛頓與新德里之間的外交關係仍在維持。美國國務院官員對兩國貿易部長會談後，新貿易協定將於短期內完成表示樂觀。雖然美國打算根據 1997 年的條約要求引渡幾名印度公民，但印度外交部尚未給予正式回應。

Operation Hard Ball is still active, with legal proceedings continuing in Canadian and U.S. courts and official requests for suspects to be transferred from India.

「硬球行動」仍在進行中，加拿大與美國法院的法律程序持續進行，且官方已要求印度移交嫌疑人。
