Haryana STF Inspector General Simardeep Singh confirmed , stating that both individuals had been detained in the United States.

The two men are wanted in several cases involving serious criminal allegations, including murder, extortion and high-profile shootings. Their detention in Las Vegas marks a significant development in the efforts to locate individuals sought by Indian law enforcement agencies.

According to the report, information shared by the Haryana STF helped U.S. authorities detain the two men. However, the available details do not specify the exact circumstances of their detention, the legal grounds involved or whether formal extradition proceedings have begun.

The development could lead to further coordination between Indian and American authorities, depending on the legal process and the status of the cases against the two men in India.

Cross-border investigations involving wanted individuals can require cooperation between law enforcement agencies in different countries. Any transfer to India would depend on the applicable legal procedures and decisions by the relevant authorities.

The reported detention has drawn attention to Haryana’s efforts to pursue suspects wanted in major criminal cases beyond India’s borders.

Further official updates are expected to clarify the legal status of Himanshu Bhau and Neeraj Faridpuria, as well as any next steps concerning their cases.
