Indian Agencies Arrest Most-Wanted Gangsters Venkatesh Garg in Georgia, Bhanu Rana in the US

Introduction

In a major international breakthrough, Indian enforcement agencies have successfully tracked and arrested two most-wanted gangsters operating from foreign countries.
Venkatesh Garg was arrested in *Georgia, while Bhanu Rana was detained in the *United States. Both were believed to be operating extortion and organised crime networks targeting businessmen and celebrities in India.

The arrests are being seen as a significant victory for India’s crackdown on overseas crime syndicates.

Who Is Venkatesh Garg?

Venkatesh Garg, also known as Vicky Garg, is considered a key player in underworld financial operations.
He allegedly handled:

• Extortion rackets,
• Money transfers through hawala channels,
• Cyber fraud operations targeting Indian businesses.

Indian agencies had issued a lookout circular and a non-bailable warrant against him. Garg fled abroad to avoid arrest and had been shifting bases frequently to avoid detection.

Authorities confirmed that Garg was traced in Georgia after months of tracking his communication and travel movement.

Who Is Bhanu Rana?

Bhanu Rana is allegedly linked to a larger organised crime network with connections in multiple countries.
He is accused of:

• Coordinating extortion calls from foreign locations,
• Illegal arms funding and networking,
• Threatening businessmen and real estate developers in India.

Rana had been staying in the United States under a tourist visa that had reportedly expired.
Indian agencies tracked him using financial digital footprints and social media activity.

Joint Operation With Foreign Authorities

Officials said the arrests became possible due to close cooperation between Indian agencies and foreign law enforcement.

The action involved:

• Intelligence sharing,
• Verification of immigration records,
• Surveillance on financial transactions and VoIP calls.

Legal paperwork for extradition and deportation is now underway to bring both accused back to India.

Why These Arrests Matter

For years, several Indian gangsters have escaped abroad to run:

• Extortion syndicates,
• Threat-call networks,
• Illegal business funding channels.

These arrests send a clear message that foreign soil cannot protect individuals involved in organised crime.

A senior official said:

“Wherever they run, we will reach. No criminal will feel safe outside India anymore.”

What Happens Next?

• Formal extradition request will be processed through diplomatic channels.
• Both gangsters will be questioned once they reach India.
• Investigators will examine their links with other crime networks operating from abroad.

The crackdown is part of a larger strategy to dismantle international crime modules connected to Indian gangsters who operate from countries like Canada, Dubai, and the US.

Conclusion

The arrest of Venkatesh Garg and Bhanu Rana marks a major success for Indian law enforcement.
It also shows that agencies are now working beyond borders, using technology, cooperation, and intelligence to track criminals.

With this operation, India has sent a strong message:

No matter where criminals hide, law will reach them.
