Harichand Jat alias Hari Boxer, also spelt Harry Boxer and Hari Chand Jaat, 40, an alleged member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has been detained in the United States by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Efforts are under way to bring him to India.
Rajasthan Police said on Sunday that the detention was secured by the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force through sustained coordination with international agencies, including the CBI and Interpol.
Boxer, a resident of Chatarpura village in Kotputli-Behror district, Rajasthan, allegedly ran the gang's extortion and shooting network in India while staying abroad, and played a key role in supplying weapons to the Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang.
He is wanted in more than 22 criminal cases, including attempt to murder and organised crime. He allegedly issued threats to actor Ranveer Singh and director Rohit Shetty in February 2026, and was linked to a shooting outside Rohit Shetty's Mumbai residence.
