The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) made five arrests in connection with a hefty seizure of 8.6 kg of methamphetamine in Bhopal, Noida, and from a train en route from New Delhi to Bengaluru. The arrests included four Nigerians and one Indian national. The bust took place over two operations, with the initial operation occurring on August 11 at Bhopal Junction railway station.
Acting on intelligence about a female drug trafficker traveling by train carrying drugs, DRI officers intercepted her at the station. Upon examining her trolley bag, officers discovered a concealed cavity containing six packets of a white crystalline substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. The recovered drugs were seized, and the drug trafficker was arrested under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Following this, a simultaneous search was conducted in Greater Noida, resulting in the arrest of three Nigerian drug peddlers and the seizure of additional methamphetamine, cocaine, and cannabis. The swift operations have reportedly dismantled a foreign syndicate involved in drug trafficking, allegedly recruiting Indian citizens.
