Drug syndicate running from Delhi houses busted, 4 of family arrested

The accused have been identified as Paro (28), Usha (25), Kanta (35) and their brother Amit (30). DCP Akanksha Yadav said, “A raid was conducted at a house in D-Block, which led to the recovery of 1,300 Addnok-N tablets containing Buprenorphine and Naloxone, 310 Avil injections with 652 syringe needles and cash worth ₹1.25 lakh. The three sisters were arrested from the spot.” The trio told police that they came in touch with a man named Sachin, who is allegedly associated with an organised network that supplies these drugs in the Capital.

Subsequent searches based on their disclosure resulted in the recovery of another 400 Avil injections from another house, 1,880 syringe needles and Rs 63,000 cash from another premises allegedly used for storing contraband by the absconding associate. Police were then told about Amit, who was also hoarding supplies at another house nearby. “During a fourth raid at the residence of Amit, police recovered cash amounting to Rs 20.14 lakh, gold jewellery weighing 241 grams, silver ornaments weighing 2.4 kg and documents relating to 11 flats owned by Paro, each valued at approximately Rs 12-15 lakh. A brand-new TVS N-Torq scooter registered in Amit’s name was also seized as suspected proceeds of crime,” said DCP Yadav.

Police said they are now trying to apprehend Sachin, also called ‘Chanakya’ by his associates, to trace the source of supply, identify the financial trail and arrest other members of the syndicate. Further investigation is in progress.
