Police in Delhi and Muzaffarnagar arrested nine individuals linked to narcotics trafficking, seizing over 1.6 kilograms of heroin (smack) and cash suspected to be proceeds from drug sales. The Delhi operation followed a five-month investigation leading to eight arrests and recovery of 3.72 crore rupees. In Muzaffarnagar, a trafficker was caught with 218 grams of heroin worth over Rs 1 crore internationally. Both cases involve interstate drug supply networks across Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi, with investigations ongoing under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
