Delhi Police Crack Down on Major Heroin Trafficking Ring

In a significant breakthrough, the Delhi Police have dismantled a major inter-state heroin trafficking network, arresting its leader and another associate, officers revealed on Wednesday.

Authorities seized 809 grams of high-quality heroin valued at approximately Rs 80 lakh on the international market, alongside Rs 3,300 in cash and three mobile phones from the apprehended suspects.

The accused were identified as 36-year-old Kashim of New Seemapuri and 48-year-old Bindu Devi, a known trafficker previously implicated in narcotics cases. Despite being banned from Delhi, Devi, an illiterate housewife, operated the network, using her absconded son-in-law as an accomplice. The search for the wider syndicate continues.
