The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday arrested a key absconding accused, carrying a reward for his arrest, in a narco-terror nexus case of Jammu & Kashmir, linked with Pakistan-based terrorist outfits, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).
Syed Saleem Jahangir Andrabi alias Saleem Andrabi, a resident of district Kupwara district in Jammu and Kashmir, had been on the run since June 2020 and had subsequently been charge-sheeted under various sections of the NDPS Act, IPC and UA(P) Act in the case. His arrest marks a major success in NIA’s efforts to destroy the narco-terror nexus and dismantle the ecosystem created in India by terrorist organisations based across the border
