Delhi Police’s Special Cell made a significant drug bust on Friday, September 12, 2025, arresting three men and seizing 194 grams of high-grade cocaine. The estimated street value of the seized narcotics is a staggering Rs 2.25 crore.
The arrests followed a meticulously planned operation based on a credible tip-off. The accused individuals are identified as Rahul Wadhwa, Abdul Kadir, and Chimezie Lazarus Indedinge, also known as Zudo, a Nigerian national.
Zudo, allegedly the mastermind behind the operation, is believed to have entered India for medical treatment. However, upon arrival, he allegedly transitioned into the lucrative, yet illegal, drug trade. Police investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of his network.
The arrest highlights the growing concern of international drug trafficking networks operating within India. Authorities are stepping up efforts to combat this menace, and this seizure underscores the need for continued vigilance and cross-border cooperation to curb the flow of illicit substances.
