India's home minister said Navpreet Singh, described as a narco-trafficking suspect, was deported from Turkiye on Saturday in connection with drug and other criminal cases.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Navpreet Singh, whom he called a hardened narco-trafficking kingpin, was deported from Turkiye on Saturday. The Hindu included the statement in its October 4 morning digest.
Shah said the deportation was in connection with cases involving drug trafficking and other crimes. The digest did not publish a court judgment or a detailed charge sheet.
The handover is assigned to India because the announcement and the criminal cases cited are Indian. Turkiye is the country that carried out the deportation, according to the minister.
No independent Turkish government statement was in the sources used for this row, so the account remains attributed to Shah via The Hindu.
This is a separate event from the Delhi protests over the chief election commissioner.
