Notorious drug trafficker Shiran Basik, who was arrested in Dubai and subsequently brought to Sri Lanka, has been handed over to the Central Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) in Colombo for further investigations.

 

Along with the suspect, two other individuals suspected of being members of an organised criminal gang were also handed over to the CCIB for questioning and further investigations.

 

The suspects were brought to Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) from Abu Dhabi last night (14).

 

Shiran Basik, a 48-year-old resident of Kalubowila, Dehiwala, is wanted under an Interpol ‘Red Notice’ and had travelled to the United Arab Emirates in 2018.

 

The suspect was arrested by Dubai Police on May 26 after photographs and video footage of drones and missiles allegedly used by Iran in attacks on the UAE during the recent Iran-US conflict were reportedly found on his mobile phone.

 

Police said the suspect is facing allegations relating to drug trafficking, possession of firearms, dangerous and sharp weapons, membership of an unlawful assembly, and causing harm or damage.

 

Further investigations will also be conducted into illegal assets allegedly acquired through drug trafficking and other organised criminal activities, police said.
