Delhi Police have dismantled an international drug syndicate, seizing more than 560 kilograms of cocaine valued at over Rs 2,000 crores in the international market. The operation led to the arrest of four individuals from South Delhi. The police are investigating a potential narco-terror angle, according to the Delhi Police Special Cell. The consignment was intercepted from a suspected drug cartel operating within the capital. Authorities revealed that the cocaine, sourced from abroad, was intended for distribution across Delhi and other regions of India.

Pramod Singh Kushwaha, Additional Commissioner of Police for the Special Cell, providing details about the operation, said “The accused identified as Tushar Goyal, a resident of Vasant Vihar in Delhi, has two associates - Himanshu and Aurangzeb.
