Massive interstate drug cartel busted; over 50 foreign nationals detained

Hyderabad’ Nov 28 (Asif Hussain-PMI NEWS) The Telangana Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE) Force has carried out a large-scale crackdown on an interstate drug cartel, detaining more than 50 foreign nationals who were reportedly overstaying in India. The network spanned multiple cities, including Delhi, Greater Noida, Gwalior and Visakhapatnam.

In a coordinated high-intensity operation, 124 EAGLE personnel—comprising one SP, eight DSPs, 17 Inspectors, 16 SIs and 82 constables—worked alongside 100 officials from the Delhi Crime Branch. Raids were conducted at 20 locations across Mehrauli, Sant Garh, Pratap Enclave, Prithvi Park, Nilothi, Chandra Nagar and Munirka. Officials seized a substantial quantity of narcotic substances and identified suspected cartel members, including individuals allegedly involved in both drug distribution and related illicit activities.

The operation extended to Noida, Gwalior and Visakhapatnam, where local police assisted in apprehending a suspected kingpin, women operatives involved in drug sales and key mule account handlers. Nearly the entire EAGLE contingent was deployed, highlighting the scale and seriousness of the mission.

EAGLE officials praised the effective cooperation from the Delhi Crime Branch and local law enforcement teams across all participating regions, calling the joint action a major step toward dismantling organised interstate drug networks. (pressmediaofindia.com)
