In a significant development, Delhi Police's North-West District Narcotics Squad has successfully seized 27.754 kilograms of ganja and apprehended two suspects allegedly involved in a substantial narcotics trafficking network. The individuals, identified as Shiv Nath Sahni, 25, and Pankaj Kumar, 48, reside in Jahangirpuri, New Delhi.

This seizure results from an intelligence-driven operation orchestrated by a special team from Delhi Police, who employed sustained surveillance and field intelligence to uncover an expanding ganja distribution network across the Delhi-NCR region. The arrests, made on Monday, May 11, mark a breakthrough in addressing the local narcotics threat.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Bhisham Singh confirmed the discovery of a sizable quantity of high-grade ganja from the suspects, who are believed to be novices in the trade yet rapidly building contacts with city consumers and small-scale peddlers. This operation underscores Delhi Police's relentless commitment to combat drug proliferation, particularly as investigations continue to unravel the supply chain and reveal possible interstate linkages.
