The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has added an Indian national identified in court records as “No Name Given Kamal” to its wanted list over his alleged involvement in a transnational criminal organisation linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi Organised Crime Group. Kamal faces a federal charge of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by extortion.

A federal arrest warrant for Kamal was issued on July 1, 2026, by the US District Court for the Central District of California. The FBI's Los Angeles Field Office is seeking information that could help locate him.

FBI Seeks Kamal

The FBI has listed Kamal as wanted in connection with an alleged transnational criminal organisation associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi group.

The agency says the case involves an alleged conspiracy to interfere with commerce through extortion. Kamal's full name has not been publicly identified in the federal records cited in the case; he appears as “NO NAME GIVEN KAMAL” in the indictment.

The FBI's Los Angeles Field Office is appealing for information that could assist investigators in locating him.

Federal Warrant Issued

The arrest warrant was issued on July 1 by the US District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles.

The federal indictment lists Kamal among defendants facing charges connected to an alleged organised-crime conspiracy. The indictment includes charges involving racketeering conspiracy and conspiracy to interfere with commerce by extortion, alongside alleged drug-related offences.

The allegations remain accusations unless and until established in court.

Bishnoi Link Alleged

US authorities have linked the case to the Lawrence Bishnoi Organised Crime Group, which American prosecutors allege operates across international borders.

The wider investigation involves alleged activities including extortion, drug trafficking and violence. The US case is part of a broader effort to investigate India-linked organised crime networks operating in North America and elsewhere.

Kamal's inclusion in the indictment does not mean that every allegation against the wider organisation has been proven against him individually.

Alleged Extortion Role

The federal case alleges that members and associates of the network participated in extortion operations in the United States.

Court records identify Kamal as one of the defendants in the broader conspiracy. Reporting based on the indictment has alleged that he was involved in collecting extortion proceeds on behalf of the Bishnoi organisation.

One reported allegation concerns an extortion payment collected in California in May 2025. Such allegations will ultimately be tested through the US judicial process.

Operation Hard Ball

The FBI listing comes amid a wider international crackdown on India-linked organised crime networks.

US authorities announced Operation Hard Ball in July after unsealing federal indictments against dozens of alleged operatives connected to three India-based criminal organisations.

The investigation has involved law-enforcement agencies in the United States, Canada and Europe and has focused on alleged crimes including extortion, drug trafficking, weapons offences and targeted violence.

The latest wanted listing indicates that US investigators continue to pursue individuals allegedly connected to these networks.

FBI Seeks Public Help

The FBI's Los Angeles Field Office is asking anyone with information about Kamal's whereabouts to contact investigators through official channels.

The FBI maintains wanted-person databases for fugitives and other individuals sought in federal investigations. Its Los Angeles wanted-person page includes cases handled by the field office.

Authorities have not publicly disclosed Kamal's current location.

The FBI has also not publicly provided a fuller identity beyond the name used in the federal records cited in the case.

What Happens Next

Kamal remains wanted in the United States while the federal case proceeds.

The immediate focus for investigators is locating him and bringing him before the US judicial system to face the charges.

The case also highlights the increasingly international nature of organised-crime investigations involving networks allegedly operating across India, the US, Canada and Europe.

For India and the US, cooperation between law-enforcement agencies is likely to remain important as authorities pursue suspects, financial networks and alleged criminal operations across jurisdictions.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The FBI's decision to place “No Name Given Kamal” on its wanted list reflects the expanding US investigation into alleged transnational organised-crime networks linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi group.

The case is significant because the allegations involve alleged extortion activity on US soil and an organisation that prosecutors say operates across multiple countries.

However, Kamal has been accused, not convicted, and the allegations contained in the indictment must be established through the US legal process.
