In a significant move against narcotics, Delhi’s Central District Police apprehended two drug peddlers, including a supplier, and confiscated 28.46 grams of smack, cash, and a weighing machine. The operation, led by the Sidhipura Police Post team under DBG Road Police Station, followed thorough surveillance and inquiries. The incident traces back to March 31 when constables Vishal and Shishram, during routine patrolling near Loco Railway Colony in Kishanganj, observed a suspicious gathering where narcotics were being distributed.
The police team’s intervention prompted the individuals present to flee, leading to the capture of the accused, identified as Ashish alias Changu, a Kishanganj resident. Following legal procedures under the NDPS Act, a search yielded 12.34 grams of smack in his possession, confirmed as a banned substance through on-site testing. Subsequently, an FIR under Section 21(B) of the NDPS Act was lodged at DBG Road Police Station, initiating further inquiries.
Under interrogation, Ashish revealed sourcing the contraband from a local supplier named Md. Imran. Acting on this information, a police team, under the supervision of Sub-Inspector Sumit Singh and Station House Officer Inspector Randhir Singh, conducted a raid on Md. Imran’s residence on April 1. The search resulted in the seizure of 16.12 grams of smack, cash, and a weighing machine, indicating active involvement in drug peddling.
It was disclosed that Ashish, after procuring smack from Md. Imran, engaged in selling near the railway station, establishing a local supply chain. Investigations unveiled Ashish’s extensive criminal record, with multiple cases registered against him in various police stations for offenses like theft, robbery, and assault. The swift police action not only led to the arrest of the peddler and supplier but also exposed the drug supply network in the area, with ongoing efforts to dismantle it.
