THe subject investigating office (NIA) has extradited an alleged narco-terror operative from portuguese republic and arrested him in new delhi in connection with a Pakistan-backed heroin smuggling and terror funding network linked to the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM).Identified as Iqbal Singh alias Shera, the accused is a key conspirator and handler of an India-based narco-terror module engaged in smuggling heroin from Pakistan.The NIA said in a statement that Shera was taken into custody at the Delhi airport immediately after he arrived from Portugal, where he had absconded in 2020. “His successful extradition and arrest come as a major shot in the arm for the NIA’s fight against Pakistan-backed narco and cross-border terrorism,” the agency said.A native of Punjab’s Amritsar, Shera had allegedly masterminded a conspiracy to smuggle narcotics from Pakistan into the border state.“He coordinated and supervised the trafficking and distribution of the smuggled drugs, and channelised the proceeds through hawala networks to Pakistan- and Kashmir-based operatives of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) terrorist outfit to facilitate terror activities,” the agency said.A non-bailable warrant was issued against him in October 2020, following which an Interpol Red Notice was published in June 2021.“To further the anti-India narco-terror conspiracy, Shera had formed a terror gang and operated a Punjab-based network involved in trafficking large quantities of heroin, collecting sale proceeds, and transferring funds to handlers and terror operatives. He maintained close links with Pakistan-based HM operatives,” the NIA said.The case was originally registered by the Punjab Police following the arrest of an HM overground worker, Hilal Ahmed Shergojri. Police had also recovered ₹29 lakh in alleged drug proceeds from Shergojri — a close aide of deceased terrorist commander Riyaz Ahmed Naikoo.
