The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) orchestrated Basoya's return by tracing the criminal through a comprehensive approach. According to Shah, this operation demonstrates that 'no matter where drug traffickers hide, they cannot escape the long arm of Indian law.'

This action is part of a broader strategy to dismantle drug networks and bring individuals involved in illicit activities to justice, regardless of their location. Further details are expected as the story develops.
