In one of the biggest coordinated anti-narcotics operations in recent times, the EAGLE force of Telangana and the Delhi Police Crime Branch successfully dismantled a pan-India drug cartel, leading to the arrest of 50 Nigerian nationals — including women — accused of involvement in widespread drug peddling across the country. The crackdown, conducted on the night of November 27–28, 2025, targeted more than 20 locations, including addresses in Delhi, Greater Noida, Gwalior, and Visakhapatnam. The joint operation was the culmination of months of intelligence gathering, involving undercover surveillance and financial forensics, after earlier investigations into local narcotics rings in Hyderabad flagged suspicious online orders and courier-based drug deliveries. According to officials, the cartel had established a robust supply chain that reportedly catered to nearly 2,000 consumers in Telangana alone — supplying synthetic drugs and other narcotics through courier networks and dead-drop methods, and using encrypted communication to evade detection.The drugs and paraphernalia intercepted during the raids — including MDMA pills, cocaine, methamphetamine — along with the arrests, struck a major blow to the cartel’s pan-India distribution infrastructure. Law-enforcement agencies hailed the operation as a major success, calling it a warning to other foreign-led narcotics networks operating in India. Officials emphasized that such cross-state and international collaboration is critical to dismantling deep-rooted cartels that fuel drug misuse in urban centers like Hyderabad and beyond.
