The 41-year-old Indian-Nepalese man, Joginder Geong, is now imprisoned in the BI Detention Facility at Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig City. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment in India due to illegal possession of firearms, in addition to being suspected as the leader of an organized crime syndicate, and for cases of murder, extortion, and theft.

Personnel from the BI Fugitive Search Unit captured Geong in his residence in Barangay Taculing, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.
Geong managed to hide by using various aliases, including Joginder Geyong and Kanta Gupta.
The Indian government requested the BI to locate Geong, who was discovered to be in hiding in the Philippines due to his involvement in various criminal activities and terrorism in India.
"He will be deported for being an undesirable, undocumented, and illegally staying alien whose presence here amounts to a blatant violation of our immigration laws," stated BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco.
