A Davis man, Parampreet Singh, has entered a guilty plea for orchestrating an international drug trafficking ring involving the distribution of multiple controlled substances across the United States and Canada. The plea, as reported by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, includes cocaine, heroin, opium, and ketamine among the drugs trafficked.
Documents from the court reveal that 59-year-old Singh, alongside his accomplices Amandeep Multani of Roseville and Ranvir Singh of Sacramento, made use of encrypted cellphone apps to facilitate their cross-border deals from California. The involved sales to undercover officers amounted to about 10 kilograms of cocaine, 1.5 kilograms of opium, 2 kilograms of ketamine, and samples of heroin, worth approximately 712,790 in combined Canadian and U.S. currency. As part of his plea agreement, Singh is set to forfeit $2 million to the U.S.
The case was not taken lightly, as the Drug Enforcement Administration, alongside a cadre of agencies including Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI, and various Canadian law enforcement organizations, conducted a thorough investigation. The findings of this probe led to Amandeep Multani's guilty plea last December, and he awaits sentencing in November. Meanwhile, Ranvir Singh’s trial is set to commence in early October, with a reminder that the allegations against him remain just that until proven otherwise in a court of law.
As the wheels of justice continue to turn, Parampreet Singh’s sentencing is scheduled for January 2026. He faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and a $10 million fine, though the actual sentence will be decided based on statutory considerations and federal guidelines. This case is part of a broader initiative, Operation Take Back America, with origins in a Trump-era executive order aiming to dismantle illegal immigration and neutralize cartels and criminal networks.
