India has secured the deportation of alleged international drug trafficker Navpreet Singh from Türkiye, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on October 3. According to Shah, Singh had obtained Turkish citizenship using the alleged fake identity “Navab Virk” and was accused of operating a network that smuggled heroin and methamphetamine from Afghanistan into India. Indian agencies reportedly traced his identity and location before securing his return. Singh has now been taken into custody in India in connection with drug-trafficking and other criminal cases. Shah also said the government remains committed to dismantling narco-trafficking networks operating across borders. (PC: HT)
