Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Harichand Jat alias Hari Boxer has been detained in the US by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and efforts are underway to extradite him to India, Rajasthan police said on Sunday (November 8, 2026).
The Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) secured the arrest through sustained coordination with international agencies, including the CBI and Interpol, police said.
Hari Boxer (40), a resident of Chatarpura village in Rajasthan’s Kotputli-Behror district, allegedly ran criminal activities in India from abroad and played a key role in supplying arms to the Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang.
He was involved in extortion and shooting threats in Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, including Mumbai and Pune, AGTF ADG Dinesh MN said.
The accused allegedly threatened wealthy businessmen through signal-based WhatsApp and VoIP calls and resorted to shooting the individuals or their family members if extortion demands were not met.
He was also wanted in connection with several shooting cases, including the shooting outside Bollywood director Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai, after which he reportedly claimed responsibility through a social media post.
He has more than 22 cases registered against him at various police stations in Rajasthan, including attempt to murder, extortion, violation of Arms Act and organized crime.
Hari Boxer allegedly fled India in April 2023 using his own passport and traveled through Dubai, the Dominican Republic and Guyana before reaching the U.S. via Mexico via an illegal immigration route, police said.
On 14 November 2024, a Red Corner Notice was issued against him through Interpol after coordination with the CBI.
The AGTF subsequently shared intelligence and technical inputs with international agencies, including nine Interpol notices sent to the US between December 2024 and July 2026. A provisional arrest request, updated documentation and fingerprints were also handed over, police said.
The arrest followed a coordinated effort by AGTF, Interpol and technical teams.
Further proceedings are underway for his transfer to India.
