Nigerian Kingpin’s Delhi Drug Ring Busted: Rs 2.25 Crore Cocaine Seized
Delhi Police have dealt a significant blow to the narcotics trade in the Delhi-NCR region with the arrest of a Nigerian drug kingpin and two of his associates. The operation resulted in the seizure of 194 grams of high-purity cocaine, estimated to be worth a staggering Rs 2.25 crore.
The kingpin, who initially came to India seeking medical treatment, reportedly fell into financial hardship. This led him to establish a local drug distribution network, recruiting Indian nationals to facilitate his illicit operations.
Police investigations are ongoing to uncover the full extent of the syndicate’s activities and identify any further accomplices. The arrests highlight the persistent challenge posed by transnational drug trafficking and the need for strengthened inter-agency cooperation.
The successful bust underscores the Delhi Police’s commitment to combating the drug menace. This case serves as a stark reminder of the insidious nature of drug trafficking and its devastating impact on society, demanding continuous vigilance and proactive measures to protect vulnerable communities.
