Haryana gangster Himanshu Bhau, one of India’s most wanted fugitives, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Nevada, along with his associate Neeraj Faridpuria, officials have confirmed. Bhau, whose real name is Himanshu Ritoliya, is wanted in 18 criminal cases in India and has been the subject of an Interpol Red Notice since August 2023.
The US government’s online detainee locator listed two Indian-born men, Himanshu Sigroha and Neeraj Kaushik, in ICE custody at the Henderson Detention Center in Henderson, Nevada, near Las Vegas, when checked on Friday night. Their cases are being handled by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) office in Las Vegas. Officials identified the two detainees as Bhau and his associate Faridpuria. A search for Himanshu Ritoliya, the name used in Indian reports, returned no record in the detainee locator.
