Supreme Court Denies Bail in High-Profile Narco Terrorism Case

The Supreme Court dismissed the bail plea of Tariq Ahmed Lone in a narco terrorism case involving a massive heroin seizure at Attari, despite arguments from his advocate, Colin Gonsalves. While Lone was not directly linked to the contraband, he remains embroiled in a complex international drug ring investigation.

The Supreme Court has denied the bail plea of Tariq Ahmed Lone, an accused in a significant narco terrorism case concerning the seizure of 532 kilograms of heroin and additional narcotics at Attari.

A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and Prashant Kumar Mishra remained unconvinced by senior advocate Colin Gonsalves's arguments. Gonsalves contended that Lone should be granted bail as the contraband was not recovered from him.

The NIA contends that the drug bust traces back to a Pakistani truck that brought alleged narcotic substances into India via the Attari Integrated Check Post in 2019, showcasing the case's national and international significance.
