Gurdit Singh alias Prince alias Pindi — a resident of Gangyal — was wanted for his alleged involvement in drug peddling and other criminal activities, a police official said.
Four cases have been registered against Singh since 2018 under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Indian Penal Code at various police stations, he added.
