Authorities in the UK on Thursday issued an appeal for the public to help trace 11 most wanted fugitives, including an India-born drug smuggler accused of importing drugs into Britain 12 years ago.

Shashi Dhar Sahnan, 61, is accused of importing heroin into the United Kingdom in 2007, the National Crime Agency's (NCA) alert said.

"He was born in India, wears a hearing aid in his right ear, is approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and stocky," it said. Sahnan is from Leicester.

All the named fugitives have a common connection with Spain and are believed to be on the run anywhere in the world under false identities
"We've always had an overwhelming response to this campaign, to date 84 offenders have been caught across Europe."
