Law enforcement authorities in the national capital have cracked down on a suspected drug smuggling syndicate operating in the Dwarka region of Delhi. Police officials confirmed the arrest of a 22-year-old undergraduate student during a targeted operation. Authorities seized 101 grams of heroin from the possession of the accused, with the international market value of the confiscated contraband estimated at approximately 25 to 30 lakh rupees. Investigators suspect that the syndicate has deep roots connected to an interstate drug supply network, potentially involving foreign nationals residing within the capital.
Operation Based on Specific Intelligence
According to law enforcement officers, the suspect has been identified as Rohit, a resident of Gurugram district in the neighboring state of Haryana. Acting on a specific tip-off, police intercepted him on October 24 near Harsukh Apartments located in Sector 1 of Dwarka. Along with the narcotics, officers recovered two mobile phones from his person, which are currently being analyzed for communication logs. Following his apprehension, the accused was produced before a magistrate and remanded to two days of police custody to facilitate a thorough interrogation into the origins of the contraband.
Revelations Regarding Foreign Supplier
During custodial questioning, the student allegedly disclosed to investigators that he had traveled from Haryana specifically to collect a consignment of heroin in southwest-Delhi. He further stated that acting under instructions from an individual named Jaivinder, he procured the narcotics from an unidentified foreign national residing in Janakpuri. Investigators believe that Jaivinder served as an intermediary in direct contact with the primary supplier. Authorities are actively pursuing leads to ascertain the full extent of the supply chain and identify other accomplices operating within the region.
Surveillance Footage and Ongoing Probe
An official FIR under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act was registered at the Dwarka South police station on October 24. Police teams are currently reviewing closed-circuit television footage from various locations along the suspect's route to verify his movements and pinpoint the whereabouts of the foreign suspect and Jaivinder. Police records indicate that Rohit is a final-year B.Com student enrolled at a college in Haryana and has no prior criminal record. Investigators continue their efforts to trace the destination of the narcotics shipment and dismantle the wider network.
