In a major breakthrough, Delhi Police have cracked an international drug trafficking syndicate operating in the national capital, seizing over 168.89 kg of cannabis and arresting three key suspects in a series of raids. The operation was led by the Anti-Narcotics Cell of Dwarka District Police.
The syndicate was using luxury rental properties in posh areas to store and distribute the drugs, believing it would keep them under the radar of the police. However, the Delhi Police's swift action has ensured that this illegal operation is stopped in its tracks. Raids are ongoing to identify and catch other members of the broader network.
According to the police, the investigation began when a tip-off was received that a drug consignment was being transported via train from Bihar. Acting swiftly on this information, the police arrested a 50-year-old man found in possession of 6.06 kg of cannabis.
The accused, Rajesh, admitted to renting a flat in a posh locality to use as a warehouse for storing the drugs and to avoid raising suspicion. When searched, investigators found two keys on the accused, which led them to the flat. Inside, they found the cannabis. During questioning, Rajesh revealed that the drugs were being procured from Hoshiarpur in Punjab, sourced from Bihar and transported via train in trolley bags.
A key supplier, Krishnanand Choudhary, was then arrested in Punjab, who admitted to coordinating drug shipments. The police also arrested a local distributor, Krishan, from Indira Market, Najafgarh, and recovered 2.033 kg of ganja from his house. The police are now investigating possible connections, including railway routes and financial transactions linked to the syndicate.
This crackdown is part of a larger campaign aimed at making Delhi a drug-free zone. With advanced intelligence and coordination, the police will likely continue to disrupt drug networks operating in the city.
