The FBI is searching for a man known only as No Name Given Kamal, a 26-year-old Indian national accused of being a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group. This case is part of Operation Hard Ball, which uncovered links between the Bishnoi group and commercial trucking. A judge issued an arrest warrant for Kamal in Los Angeles on July 1, and the FBI continues seeking information about his whereabouts.
In addition to Kamal, 37 defendants were charged through three indictments, resulting in the arrest of 24 people across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Authorities seized around 1,000 kilograms of cocaine, one kilogram of heroin, $40,000 in cash, and 12 firearms during the broader probe. The federal charge against Kamal involves conspiracy to interfere with commerce by extortion.
