Tamil film producer Ameer Sultan has been summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for questioning in connection with the Rs 2,000 crore international drug smuggling case allegedly involving former DMK official Jafar Sadiq.
Ameer Sultan’s involvement in the Jafar Sadiq drug racket case has drawn further attention as the NCB has issued a summons for questioning. The case revolves around an international drug smuggling operation valued at Rs 2,000 crore, with Sadiq, a former DMK official, allegedly playing a central role. Ameer is required to appear at the NCB office in New Delhi on April 2.
Addressing the matter, director Ameer expressed readiness to cooperate with the investigation. Alongside Ameer, the NCB has also summoned two other associates of Jafar Sadiq, namely Abdul Fajid Buhari and Syed Ibrahim. Notably, Ameer has directed a film that was produced by Sadiq.
Jafar Sadiq was apprehended by the NCB in New Delhi on March 9 in connection with drug smuggling activities spanning countries like Australia and New Zealand. Earlier, three associates of Sadiq were arrested in February. Intelligence agencies have received information suggesting that banned organizations like LTTE are attempting to raise funds by collaborating with drug networks in Pakistan, such as the Haji Ali Group.
