One of India’s most-wanted fugitives was caught in San Joaquin County

One of India’s most-wanted fugitives was among the people arrested earlier this month amid a kidnapping and torture investigation in Manteca.

Law enforcement officials held a press conference Friday describing the investigation – a week after announcing the arrests.

According to San Joaquin County Sheriff Pat Withrow, the investigation began June 21 after community tips informed them about a “horrendous crime” that happened on June 19 in Manteca.

Deputies contacted the victim, who told them a group of men kidnapped him, stripped him naked, and bound and tortured him for hours.

Then, on July 11, all those believed to be involved were arrested in a multi-agency operation carried out across various locations in San Joaquin County.

A total of eight people were arrested: Pavittar Singh, Dilpreet Singh, Arshpreet Singh, Amritpal Singh, Gurtaj Singh, Sarabjit Singh, Manpreet Randhawa and a man identified only as Vishal, who did not provide a last name.
