Gurugram, Jun 21: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, Gurugram Police have busted a drug racket valued at over Rs 1 cr and arrested seven Nigerian nationals involved in the operation. The police also seized a significant quantity of narcotics, including sulfa, cocaine, and raw cocaine, along with several items used in drug peddling.

According to the Gurugram Crime Branch, specific intelligence was received about a person named Bimal Pahadi involved in drug trafficking and distribution activities in Sector-39 of Gurugram. Acting on this tip-off, a raid was conducted at his premises, resulting in the recovery of 1.60 kg of sulfa and 116 grams of cocaine.

During interrogation, Bimal Pahadi, a native of Nepal, revealed crucial information about an extensive drug trafficking network operated by Nigerian nationals across the Delhi-NCR region. Based on his disclosures, the Crime Branch conducted a series of raids targeting other suspects, including a location at Lal Kothari in Tribunal South B, Aizawl (Mizoram).

As a result, seven Nigerian nationals were apprehended. Police recovered a total of 1.60 kg of sulfa, 904 grams of cocaine, and 2.34 kg of raw cocaine from their possession. Additionally, officers seized 3 electronic weighing scales, 42 mobile phones, 8 packaging packets, 6 bundles of cellophane tape, Nigerian passports, and Rs 7,500 in cash.

Police officials stated that this was a significant breakthrough in curbing narcotics circulation in the region. Preliminary investigations suggest strong links between the arrested individuals and an organized drug network operating in Delhi-NCR. The suspects are currently being interrogated, and officials expect further major revelations.

Gurugram Police reiterated their commitment to taking strict action against drug-related crimes and urged the public to report suspicious activities related to narcotics in their neighbourhoods.
