The National Investigation Agency on Wednesday arrested alleged Hizb-ul-Mujahideen-linked narco-terror operative Iqbal Singh after securing his extradition from Portugal through coordinated diplomatic and legal efforts. According to the NIA, Singh was a key conspirator and handler of an India-based narco-terror module involved in smuggling heroin from Pakistan to finance terror activities. The extradition was facilitated by the Central Bureau of Investigation in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs and the Union Home Ministry. Singh, who had fled India in 2020, was brought to New Delhi and taken into NIA custody in connection with a major Hizb-ul-Mujahideen terror-financing case.
