The addition of fugitive gangster Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy Brar to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list has put the spotlight on India’s own list of designated terrorists. Brar, who is listed at number 56 in Indian government records, is among 80 individuals designated as terrorists under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Indian records identify Brar as being associated with the proscribed Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and accuse him of involvement in killings, extortion and terror-related activities. He has also been accused in the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.
The Indian government’s list, last updated in July 2026, includes individuals wanted in cases linked to terrorism, organised crime, arms and drug smuggling, hijacking and circulation of counterfeit currency.
Masood Azhar
Maulana Masood Azhar, 58, is listed as being based in Pakistan. He is the founder and chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and has been designated a global terrorist by the United Nations.
Indian authorities have accused Azhar of involvement in several major terror cases, including the 2001 Parliament attack, the 2005 Ayodhya attack, the 2016 Pathankot airbase attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack.
Azhar was released from Tihar Jail in 1999 in exchange for passengers held during the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814.

Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, 76, is another Pakistan-based name on the list. He is identified by Indian authorities as a founder and key leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawa.

Khalistan-linked fugitives
Several names on India’s list are linked to separatist organisations operating from overseas.

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and Paramjit Singh Pamma
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, based in the US, is identified in Indian records as the founder and legal adviser of Sikhs For Justice, which India has designated as a terrorist organisation. Authorities have accused him of advocating Khalistan and being involved in cases investigated by the NIA and Punjab Police.
