A wanted terrorist having links to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was deported to India from Rwanda in connection with a Bengaluru prison terror conspiracy case, officials said on Thursday.
The terrorist was identified as Salman Rehman Khan against whom Interpol had issued a Red Corner Notice. He was also wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The NIA and CBI had coordinated Khan’s return with Interpol National Central Bureau, Kigali (Rwanda’s capital) in central East Africa.
How Did NIA Secure Salman Rehman Khan’s Extradition?
The anti-terror agency (NIA) had filed a case against him in 2023 relating to a criminal conspiracy, for being a member of LeT. Khan was booked at Hebbal Police Station in Bengaluru for supplying arms, ammunition, and explosives to carry out terror activities in the capital city of Karnataka.
At the request of the CBI, the NIA secured an Interpol Red Corner Notice (RCN) against Khan on August 2, distributing it to law enforcement agencies worldwide to facilitate his apprehension.
He was located in Rwanda and was brought back to India in collaboration with the Interpol Kigali authorities, to face law by the NIA.
