New Delhi/Jaipur’November 14: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday conducted search operations at five locations across Delhi-NCR and Rajasthan’s Jaipur in connection with a major drug trafficking case linked to the seizure of 82.53 kg of cocaine.
The raids began early in the morning, around 7 am, with multiple ED teams carrying out coordinated searches alongside local police. Officials confirmed that the action forms part of an ongoing investigation into a suspected international narcotics network involved in routing large quantities of cocaine into India.
Crackdown on Organised Drug Syndicates
The operation comes amid intensified national efforts to dismantle drug cartels, following several high-value narcotics seizures at ports, airports, and logistics hubs in recent months. Agencies, including the ED, NCB, and DRI, have increased scrutiny on syndicates believed to be using shell companies, hawala channels, and courier networks to smuggle drugs into metropolitan regions.
Focus on Money Trail and Cartel Links
Investigators are currently tracking the financial trail associated with the cocaine haul, examining possible links to money laundering, overseas financiers, and local operatives. Officials said the searches are expected to uncover documents and digital evidence critical to mapping the full chain of the cartel’s operations. (pressmediaofindia.com)
