He told investigators that he was a male escort and ended up getting 21 years
He told investigators that he earned his money through being a male escort alongside a martial arts teacher and personal trainer. But in fact, Kulvir Shergill headed up an organised crime group (OCG that imported millions of pounds of cocaine into the United Kingdom. Around 250kg of the Class A drug was imported into the country between February 26 and April 24 in 2020.

Using the now-defunct encrypted communications platform EncroChat, Shergill and other OCG members would arrange deals. Shergill used the handle 'orderlyswarmer' and liaised with contacts in Netherlands to find out when delivering would be coming over. Then Shergill would distribute them to other OCGs around the country. But his downfall came when he and his other accomplices were arrested in 2020. Shergill denied smuggling Class A drugs but eventually admitted the offence. On 20 September last year, the 43-year-old, of Bhullar Way in Oldbury, was jailed for 21 years at Birmingham Crown Court. Meanwhile, on Thursday afternoon (June 5), the final member of the OCG was jailed for the same offences. Jagdeep Singh, aged 43, of Bloomfield Road, Tipton, worked as an electrician by trade. He was tasked with taking receipt of drugs deliveries and acted as a warehouseman. During his arrest on April 23, 2020, he had 30kg worth of high purity cocaine in his possession. Singh is now behind bars, serving a six year and eight month sentence. Elsewhere, three other members of the OCG were sent to locked up in September. Shergill's second-in-command was Khurram Mohammed, aged 37, of Barker Street, Oldbury, who was a trusted worker. He was jailed for 14 years and four months. While Shakfat Ali, aged 38, travelled around the UK on the OCG's behalf and is believed to have delivered drugs. Ali, from Oldbury, was jailed for 16 years and nine months. While Mohammed Sajad, 44, of Norton Crescent, Birmingham, who was a trusted member of the group, was jailed for 16 years. He was already serving a seven-year sentence before these offences after West Midlands Police found six firearms, a large amount of ammunition and a quantity of Class A drugs at his house in May 2020. Rick Mackenzie, NCA operations manager, said: "These offenders formed a significant crime group in the West Midlands and had far-reaching contacts to help them peddle drugs all around the UK. "Shergill and his accomplices are directly responsible for the horrendous consequences Class A drugs have among our communities. "The NCA and partners at home and abroad will continue to fight the threat of illegal drugs. "Proceeds of crime proceedings have been started and all identified assets owned by the defendants have been frozen and are currently under restraint. "The NCA will work with our partners at the CPS to ensure that any money made from their drug enterprise is recovered." The NCA lead Operation Venetic, the UK response to the takedown of EncroChat.
