Six arrested as Delhi Police busts family-run heroin trafficking network, seizes drugs worth ₹5 crore
The recovery includes heroin worth ₹5 crore, ₹73,400 in cash, two Mahindra Thar SUVs, two motorcycles, a scooter and five mobile phones.
Delhi Police arrested six individuals as part of a crackdown on a family-operated interstate heroin trafficking operation. The bust came after a September 11 tip-off about a man, Rohit Divakar, his wife, and brother transporting heroin on motorcycles from Signature Bridge to Khajuri Khas. Police intercepted the trio on Wazirabad Road and recovered over 2 kg of heroin from Vishal Divakar, Rohit's brother.
Subsequent arrests were made on September 15, when Afroj Ali was apprehended in Roorkee, Uttar Pradesh, and on September 25, Chirag was taken into custody in Khyala. Chirag, who had prior NDPS cases, was out on interim bail. The sixth accused, Gaurav, was arrested in Ghaziabad on November 10, with police seizing narcotics money and a car allegedly purchased with drug profits.
The operation yielded heroin worth ₹5 crore, ₹73,400 in cash, and a host of vehicles. Authorities are still seeking to apprehend other suppliers and trace the financial trail of the narcotics trade. The arrest marks the first case filed at the newly established Anti Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) police station.
