The Delhi Police Crime Branch’s Anti-Narcotics Task Force dismantled a well-organized inter-state drug network, seizing psychotropic substances valued at over Rs 4.5 crore and arresting four accused. The operation, driven by sustained intelligence efforts, uncovered a commercial quantity of Alprazolam and Tramadol tablets and capsules, exposing the large-scale illicit trade. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the NDPS Act.
On March 17, specific intelligence inputs led to a successful operation in northeast Delhi, resulting in the interception of accused Nitin Pathak and a juvenile transporting narcotics on a motorcycle. Subsequent investigations revealed a wider network, leading to the arrest of co-accused Prem Singh Yadav and others involved in illegal drug distribution across Delhi-NCR. The accused exploited high demand and profit margins in the black market.
The police seized a total of 3.539 kg of Alprazolam and 1.709 kg of Tramadol, with a combined estimated value of Rs 4.5 crore. This seizure marks a significant success in combating drug trafficking networks in the national capital. The Anti-Narcotics Task Force remains dedicated to dismantling organized drug syndicates through intelligence-led operations. Citizens are urged to report narcotics activities, with assurances of strict confidentiality for informants.
