Police in British Columbia are asking Interpol to post a red notice for the arrest and return of a Surrey man, who escaped to India after being convicted of smuggling cocaine into Canada from the United States.
Truck driver Raj Kumar Mehmi, 60, was sentenced in absentia by a B.C. provincial court judge to 15 years in prison in November after his arrest in 2017 for smuggling 80 kilograms of cocaine.
