Indian fugitive nabbed in Bacolod
An Indian national, Joginder Geong, wanted for serious offenses including murder, attempted murder, extortion, and robbery in India, was arrested in Bacolod City.
The 40-year-old suspect, also known as "Joginder Geyong" and "Kant Gupta," was apprehended at a residence in Santa Lucia Gardens Subdivision, Barangay Taculing.
Geong, who allegedly led an organized crime syndicate and was sentenced to life imprisonment for violating arms laws in India, is considered an undesirable alien for violating the Philippine Immigration Act.
He had been residing in the Philippines since 2022, reportedly using a fake Nepalese passport and operating a small business.
The arrest operation was led by Police Station 6, and Geong has since been turned over to the custody of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) Fugitive Search Unit (FSU).
The BI FSU acted on a request from the Embassy of India in Manila, which sought Geong's arrest and deportation due to his criminal background and use of fraudulent documents.
