New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Saturday that hardened narco-trafficking kingpin Navpreet Singh has been deported from Türkiye and returned to India. The Ministry of Home Affairs reported the successful deportation of the fugitive. Navpreet Singh had been smuggling heroin and methamphetamine from Afghanistan to India under the alias Navab Virk after obtaining Turkish citizenship.

Shah hailed the deportation as a "historic milestone" of the Modi government, stating that the agency had peeled away layer after layer to expose his true identity and secure his return to India. Singh is now facing charges related to drug trafficking and other crimes. The Modi government is dedicated to dismantling all narco-cartels before December 2029, Shah added.
