NCB Nabs Fugitive Jasgir Singh, Who Became A Singer Under Fake ID, After Nearly A Decade
The NCB has apprehended Jagsir Singh alias Baaz Sran, a proclaimed offender since 2016. Singh gained popularity as a singer on social media.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has apprehended Jagsir Singh, AKA Baaz Sran, who had been declared a proclaimed offender in 2016. He had been absconding for nine years by frequently changing his identity and location.
During his time on the run, Singh gained popularity as a singer on social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, amassing millions of views under a different identity.
The Chandigarh unit of the NCB apprehended Singh, a resident of Sirsa in Haryana, who was wanted in NCB CZU Crime No. 14/2015 involving the seizure of 36.15 kg of opium.
In May, the NCB published his details in leading newspapers and announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Based on credible inputs received thereafter, the NCB team successfully apprehended him on August 6.
This arrest marks a significant success in the NCB's ongoing efforts against drug trafficking and its associated networks. NCB officials are now investigating to uncover any possible links between Singh's music career and his drug trafficking operations.
Baaz Sran has more than 3,60,000 followers on Instagram and recently posted a video on his social media.
He released songs on YouTube and Instagram under a new name, which gained millions of views. Many of his videos were in the news in the Punjabi music industry. Even during his abscondence, he shot songs with a famous female singer of Punjab.
