State Investigation Agency i.e. SIA Kashmir has taken proclamation action against the absconding narco-terror handler. SIA Kashmir on Saturday completed the proclamation action against an absconding accused. This accused was involved in a cross-border narco-terror case related to smuggling of heroin from a Pakistan-based terrorist network.
