Episode Details

Three men facing serious drug trafficking charges in the U.S. — Jaskarn Baghri, Ravinder Dhanda, and Gurtej Singh Smagh — are set for a bail hearing in B.C. Supreme Court, as part of a high-stakes extradition case tied to Operation Hand Ball. The FBI alleges they were smuggling cocaine and meth across the border weekly as part of Indian crime syndicates. Two appeared in court in person, one via video, with Dhanda and Smagh already represented by top lawyers, while Baghri is still seeking counsel. Thirty-seven people total have been indicted in this international operation, with 27 already in custody — and the extradition hearing is under a publication ban. Law enforcement is closing in on a vast, cross-border drug network.
