International Gold Smuggling Kingpin Muniyad Ali Khan Captured and Returned to India

Muniyad Ali Khan, a key player in an international gold smuggling ring, was extradited from the UAE to India. Coordinated by the CBI, NIA, and Interpol, he faces charges related to the illegal import of gold bars from Saudi Arabia to Jaipur. Two accomplices were previously brought back.

Muniyad Ali Khan, a significant figure in an international gold smuggling racket, has been extradited from the UAE to India in a meticulous operation by the CBI, NIA, and Interpol, officials confirmed.

Khan, who arrived at Jaipur airport, was apprehended by the NIA upon landing, making him the third fugitive in this case to be brought back to Indian soil.

Khan and his co-conspirators allegedly facilitated the illegal import of gold bars from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, into Jaipur. The operation has already seen the extradition of two other key players, Shokat Ali and Mohabbat Ali, from Saudi Arabia last year.
