Wanted gangster Himanshu Bhau in US immigration custody, faces multiple murder cases in India

Himanshu Bhau, a notorious gangster wanted by Indian authorities for multiple murders and extortion, has been apprehended by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is currently held at the Henderson Detention Center in Nevada. The Indian-born 26-year-old had been hiding in Canada for over two years before his capture. Bhau, originally from Rohtak, fled India in 2022 after being implicated in three murders that occurred within 25 days of each other.

Law enforcement in India has been tracking the Himanshu Bhau gang due to their involvement in high-profile cases, including an attack on YouTuber Elvish Yadav's home last year. Two of the gang's sharpshooters were arrested in connection with the incident and revealed they were acting under orders from jailed gangster Neeraj Faridpuria and Bhau.

The gang's activities have also been linked to the murder of a close aide of Haryanvi pop singer Rahul Yadav in Gurugram.
