A Chennai special court under the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has summoned Pakistani diplomat Amir Zubair Siddiqui in connection with a 2018 fake Indian currency and terror conspiracy case. Siddiqui, who was posted at the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo, Sri Lanka, allegedly orchestrated espionage and subversive activities in India between 2009 and 2016.
Key Allegations:
He was previously placed on the NIA’s wanted list in 2018, nicknamed “Boss,” and charged alongside others for plotting 26/11-style attacks in southern India. The case originated in March 2014, when Tamil Nadu Police arrested a Sri Lankan national allegedly acting on Siddiqui’s instructions.
The diplomat has been ordered to appear before the court on October 15
