Extradition Triumph: NIA Captures Narco-Terrorist Iqbal 'Shera' Singh

  • India

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) achieved a significant breakthrough with the arrest of wanted narco-terrorist Iqbal Singh, also known as Shera, following his extradition from Portugal.

Shera's arrest marks a critical point in the fight against Pakistan-backed cross-border terrorism, as he was identified as a principal architect behind a narco-terror module responsible for smuggling heroin from Pakistan into India.

Aptly coordinated efforts with Interpol led to his capture, which serves as a significant victory in curtailing terror funding through narcotics trafficking and distribution.
