In a significant move against drug trafficking, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of Delhi Police’s Crime Branch has disrupted an interstate narcotics supply chain, leading to the arrest of two individuals and the confiscation of drugs valued at more than Rs 2 crore in the illegal market. The operation, conducted following specific intelligence inputs, resulted in the seizure of various narcotics from a residence in Moti Nagar, West Delhi.
Inspector Shiv Kumar of ANTF, under the supervision of ACP Satendra Mohan, spearheaded the raid, which involved a team comprising several officers. The main accused, Sarthak Tyagi, a property dealer from Moti Nagar, was apprehended during the raid, where a significant amount of narcotic substances was recovered, indicating organized drug trafficking activities.
The seized contraband included organic ganja, charas, MDMA, ecstasy tablets, and psilocybin mushrooms, with an estimated total value of around Rs 1 crore in the illegal market. Investigations revealed that Tyagi was part of an interstate drug distribution network, leading to the identification and apprehension of another suspect, Kulpreet Singh, in Ashok Vihar, Delhi.
Further inquiries are ongoing to uncover additional members of the drug supply chain and dismantle the larger narcotics network. Deputy Commissioner of Police Sanjeev Kumar Yadav emphasized the Crime Branch’s unwavering commitment to combating drug trafficking through intelligence-driven operations, aiming for a drug-free Delhi.
