Nigerian National Arrested in Panchkula for Alleged Cocaine Trafficking NetworkPreviousNext

The Panchkula police's Anti-Narcotics Cell arrested Nigerian national Aja Ogbonna, accused of involvement in an interstate cocaine trafficking network operating for nearly five years. Ogbonna, who arrived in India on a business visa in 2018, allegedly used a clothing and footwear business in Delhi as a front. The arrest followed a tip-off leading to the seizure of 87 cocaine pellets from an associate, Anchit alias Chintu. Investigations continue to identify other network members.
