KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 — Two wanted Indian fugitives believed to be involved in a railway track explosion in Patiala, Punjab, on April 27, have been deported to India by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain confirmed the deportation, stating that the two men were handed over to Indian authorities at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on June 17. The suspects are wanted by Indian police in connection with the blast that damaged railway tracks in Patiala district.
The explosion occurred on April 27, 2026, and no casualties were reported. Indian authorities had issued arrest warrants for the two individuals, who were believed to have fled to Malaysia. The PDRM acted on a request from the Indian High Commission to locate and detain the fugitives.
Malaysia and India have an extradition treaty, and this operation underscores ongoing cooperation between the two countries in combating transnational crime. The suspects are now in Indian custody and will face legal proceedings.
