Salim Dola, a close associate of Dawood Ibrahim, was deported from Turkey to India after his arrest in Istanbul, marking a significant step in tackling transnational drug networks. The 59-year-old, accused of running a global narcotics operation, arrived in Delhi on April 28 and is currently in custody for interrogation by central agencies, including the Narcotics Control Bureau. Wanted under an Interpol Red Corner Notice, Dola allegedly fled India in 2018 and continued operations across West Asia and Europe. Officials believe his questioning could reveal crucial links within international drug syndicates and strengthen India’s efforts against organised crime.
