New Delhi, Sep 9 || The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of the Delhi Police Crime Branch has dismantled a highly organised interstate narco-syndicate with the arrest of two more key operatives and seizure of high-value contraband.
The total recovery so far amounts to heroin worth approximately Rs 17.80 crore, police said on Tuesday. The crackdown began on June 28, when ANTF arrested Gaurav (24), a resident of Rohini, and recovered 1.4 kg of heroin from his possession.
A case was registered under the NDPS Act, and further investigation revealed that he was sourcing drugs from one Vansh Popat (19).
Despite initial attempts to evade arrest, Popat was apprehended on September 2 in a raid led by SI Yuzvendra Singh and SI Amrendra. Police recovered 26 grams of heroin from him.
