India Seeks Extradition of Two More Criminals from Turkey After Salim Dola's Return

Following the extradition of alleged drug trafficker Salim Dola from Turkey to India on April 28, India and Turkey are pursuing the extradition of two more individuals: Navpreet Singh, wanted in multiple narcotics cases, and Mohammad Sartaj, linked to threats and violence. Earlier, Prabhdeep Singh was extradited from Azerbaijan in May for heroin-related charges. Despite geopolitical tensions, Turkey continues cooperating with India under their 2001 extradition treaty to address transnational crime.
