Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Hari Boxer detained in U.S., extradition process underway

Harichand Jat, better known as Hari Boxer and a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has been apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the United States. The Indian authorities are now working on his extradition back to Rajasthan, as reported by the Rajasthan Police on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) secured Boxer's detention through close cooperation with various international agencies, including the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Interpol.

The 40-year-old from Chatarpura village in Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan was allegedly involved in criminal activities in India, operating from abroad. He played a significant role in supplying weapons to the Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang and was linked to extortion threats, firing incidents, and extortion demands across several Indian states, including Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. Boxer's activities extended to high-profile cities like Mumbai and Pune.

In addition to the extortion threats, Boxer allegedly used WhatsApp and Signal-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls to threaten wealthy businessmen. He was also involved in firing incidents in multiple states and was wanted in connection with several shootings, including one outside Bollywood director Rohit Shetty's residence in Mumbai. Subsequently, he claimed responsibility for the attack through a social media post.

Over 22 cases, including those related to murder attempts, extortion, violation of the Arms Act, and organized crime, have been registered against Boxer in different police stations in Rajasthan. According to police, he fled India in April 2023 using a passport of his own and traveled through Dubai, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, and Mexico before reaching the U.S. via an illegal migration route. A Red Corner Notice was issued against him by Interpol on November 14, 2024, following coordination with the CBI.

The AGTF shared intelligence and technical inputs with international agencies, including nine Interpol notices to the U.S. between December 2024 and July 2026. A provisional arrest request, an updated dossier, and fingerprints were forwarded to the U.S. authorities. The coordination between AGTF's operational, Interpol, and technical teams led to Boxer's detention. Further proceedings to bring him back to India are currently underway.
