In a significant escalation, Haryana Police has formally begun the process to secure a Red Corner Notice (RCN) from Interpol against fugitive businessman-turned-gangster Inderjit Singh Yadav. The move aims to facilitate his arrest and extradition from Dubai, where he is currently residing with his wife.
A Web of Violent Crimes and Extortion
Police authorities have already issued Look Out Circulars (LOCs) against Inderjit Yadav in five separate cases registered within Gurgaon. His alleged criminal portfolio is extensive and violent. He faces charges in two murder cases, including the killing of Jhajjar-based financier Manjeet Dighal last year and the murder of Rohit Shaukeen, an associate of singer Rahul Yadav alias Fazilpuria, earlier this year in Gurgaon.
Furthermore, police records indicate he is implicated in four attempt-to-murder cases in the city. Three of these were registered this year alone, involving incidents such as firing at the residence of social media influencer Elvish Yadav, an attack at the office of MNR Builders in Sector 45, and a shooting at Fazilpuria's car.
Beyond violent crimes, Inderjit Yadav has been charged in:
- Three cases of extortion and criminal intimidation in Gurgaon.
- One kidnapping case in Rewari.
- Twelve cheating cases spread across Gurgaon, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.
Dubai Nexus and Money Laundering Probe
Inderjit Yadav, who owns Gem Records Entertainment (operating as Gems Tunes), is reported to be a close associate of other fugitive gangsters like Himanshu Bhau, Deepak Nandal, and Sunil Singh alias Sardhania. The police revealed that he allegedly paid money to secure the release of Sardhania from 'donkey-route' agents after Sardhania was kidnapped while trying to reach the US. Sardhania was later arrested by Haryana Police upon his return to India from Nicaragua.
In a parallel development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at 10 locations in Delhi, Gurgaon, and Rohtak on December 26 and 27. These raids were part of a money laundering investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, targeting Inderjit Yadav, his associates, Apollo Green Energy Ltd, and other linked entities.
The ED probe, initiated on the basis of over 15 FIRs from Haryana and UP Police, alleges that Inderjit acted as an enforcer for coercive loan settlements involving private financiers. The modus operandi reportedly involved threats, intimidation, and armed associates to settle high-value disputes running into hundreds of crores. In return, he allegedly earned commissions amounting to similar figures.
Political Links and Police Resolve
The accused is also alleged to have connections with prominent political leaders and film actors, owning multiple properties in India and abroad. While he and his wife live in Dubai, his two children reside in a Gurgaon society. The Punjab Police security previously provided at his city flat was withdrawn earlier this month.
Following the ED raids, Inderjit Yadav took to social media, accusing the police of colluding with financiers and criminals while maintaining his innocence. Despite this, Haryana Police remains determined. "We will bring him back soon," asserted a senior police officer, underscoring the commitment to pursue the Red Corner Notice and ensure his return to face justice in India.
