The F.B.I. said on Thursday that it had arrested a man who it said was wanted in India in connection with terrorist activities.
The man, Harpreet Singh, had entered the United States illegally and had been evading capture by using disposable phones and encrypted applications before his arrest in Sacramento on Thursday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
Mr. Singh is suspected of collaborating with Pakistan’s intelligence agency and with a terrorist group linked to a Sikh separatist movement, the agency said.
India’s National Investigation Agency in January announced a cash reward for the capture of Mr. Singh, saying he was wanted in connection with a grenade attack against a retired police officer in the Indian city of Chandigarh in September.
The Indian authorities said that Mr. Singh had provided logistical support, funds and ammunition to operatives in India as part of Babbar Khalsa International, the terrorist group.
In recent years, India has issued warrants against at least 10 Indian nationals living in the United States, including Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, whom Indian agents were charged with plotting to assassinate in New York.
