Identity revealed of kingpin behind NZ’s largest meth importation

Baltej Singh identity revealed

The mastermind behind New Zealand’s biggest-ever meth importation has been identified as Baltej Singh, an Indian businessman who was jailed for 22 years after being caught with 700kg of methamphetamine, with his name previously suppressed to ‘protect him and his family’.

According to reports in legacy media and The Noticer, Singh abandoned his bid for permanent suppression after courts ruled it was in the public interest to identify him, despite claims his family faced threats due to links to the 1984 assassination of Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi by his uncle, Satwant Singh.

The High Court heard Singh orchestrated imports of drug-laced beverages from multiple countries between 2021 and 2023, with the operation leading to the death of a 21-year-old man and the seizure of large quantities of meth and cash, while his co-offender was jailed for manslaughter and drug supply.

  1. And now the Government has opened the door for Indian immigrants to enter more easily, and all that entails, what do they think is going to happen…

      • It’s either insanity or corruption, must be both, to try to make an argument to protect members of a crime family who’s assassinated a prime minister. Make no mistake: indian families are as tight as a duck’s a*se.
        And why do we have to pay for this lard a*rses keep? Possibly for his crime family members he brought here too?
        Why isn’t the whole pile shipped back to where this came from.

  2. Diversity is our strength LoL.
    Unfortunately NZ is now past the point of no return.
    Indians are particularly dangerous as deviousness and dishonesty is a cultural achievement, in their eyes. They will shortly dominate political spaces where them and other corrupt Indians will blatantly benefit. We are outgunned. They will dominate industries via exploitation of third parties from their communities and will rip off IRD and/or other Government agencies strategically and systematically.

  3. Ah yes, the benefits of diversity front and center once again. The morons in the Dronehive want to import more fine upstanding “citizens” from India, too. Wonder how long it will be before acid gets thrown in women’s faces and we have rape gangs prowling the streets? Small wonder people want them out of office. Treacherous is an understatement.

  4. Stuff this, he needs to be deported why should we pay for HIS jail. What is wrong with this country? And they want to import more?

  5. Deport this piece of CRAP and his family.
    Imagine what would happen to a Kiwi if this was done in their country.
    STOP BEING SOFT C..KS.
