Deputy Director-General in Narcotics Control Bureau Sanjay Kumar Singh on April 28 said that NCB registered a case and arrested a person in the Shaheen Bagh drug case and suspected a huge international syndicate behind the drugs smuggling.

“We received input from a liable source that a huge amount of heroin is stored in an apartment in Shaheen Bagh. Our team searched the apartment to recover 50kg of heroin, 47kg of suspected narcotics, Rs 30 lakhs in cash and a note-counting machine,” he said.

“We registered the case and arrested a person, soon more will be apprehended. The initial probe shows that a huge international syndicate is behind this, operating from Dubai with Indian, Pakistani and Afghani nationals. They smuggle from abroad, manufacture it here; the supply is to Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, UP, Uttarakhand via sea route and land border through Attari-Wagah border,” he added.
