Escaped NCB Drug Suspect Rearrested in Jalandhar After Attempted Disguise

Aqib Bashir, a drug smuggling suspect who had previously escaped from Narcotics Control Bureau custody in Jammu, was recaptured in Jalandhar, Punjab. His rearrest was the result of a coordinated joint operation involving the NCB, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and Punjab Police.
