Despite a massive manhunt by both Punjab Police and national agencies, Kashmir Singh Galwaddi, a terrorist linked to Khalistani extremist groups, managed to evade arrest for nearly nine years following his escape from Nabha jail in 2016.

He remained undetected for years by using multiple hideouts, including taking refuge in Nepal under a false identity. Galwaddi also has connections with international terror networks, particularly with the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). He was arrested on May 11, 2025, by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Motihari, Bihar.

The Nabha jail break took place on November 27, 2016. A group of 10-15 armed men, disguised as police officers, stormed the jail in Patiala's Nabha. They opened fire at the security personnel and facilitated the escape of six of the most-wanted criminals.
