The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is deporting an Indian national wanted by authorities in his country for a string of serious criminal cases.

BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said 48-year-old Suresh Bassapa Pujari will be expelled following his arrest last Thursday afternoon along Dona Soledad Ave., Paranaque City by operatives from the Bureau’s Fugitive Search Unit (FSU).

Morente said Pujari is already an overstaying and undocumented alien as he had been hiding in the country since he arrived here in 2016 and that his Indian passport already expired in 2019.

The Indian fugitive is also the subject of an Interpol red notice issued in December 2016 in connection with two arrest warrants that were issued against him by the courts in India.

One of the warrants was issued by the city sessions court in Greater Bombay, India on July 2, 2016 while the other one was issued by the Maharashta Control of Organized Crime (MCOC) Special Court in Greater Mumbai, India on August 2, 2016.

The charges against him for charges include extortion, preparation of murder with firearms, conspiracy, organized crime syndicate, and attempt to commit murder with criminal conspiracy to use illegal firearm.

According to BI-FSU Acting Chief Rendel Ryan Sy, Pujari is a notorious gangster in the cities of Bombay and Mumbai, India who was implicated in the kidnapping of several victims from whom he demanded ransom money.

Sy said Pujari and his associates engaged in a series of kidnappings between 2006 and 2015 and threatened to kill their victims if they did not pay him ransom money.

It was learned that the cases against Pujari in the Bombay and Mumbai courts stemmed from the arrest of his associates by the police before they could execute their boss’ order to eliminate the victims for not paying ransom.

Pujari is detained at the BI Warden Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City pending his deportation.
