The police have arrested three men and recovered over 1-kg of heroin valued at Rs 2 crore, claiming to have busted an interstate narcotics syndicate operating between Uttar Pradesh and Delhi-NCR.
The arrested individuals are: Faeem Beg (29), Kayum Khan (33), and Amir Khan (28), all residents of Uttar Pradesh.
Authorities stated that the syndicate manufactured and supplied heroin to Delhi-NCR and districts of Uttar Pradesh, including Shamli and Saharanpur.
The operation began on February 22 after a tip-off that Beg would deliver heroin near the Anand Vihar railway underpass. Beg and Kayum Khan were apprehended with two packets of heroin weighing 101 grams and 601 grams.
During interrogation, Beg disclosed that he sourced heroin from his village in Bareilly and distributed it to peddlers in Delhi-NCR and UP.
Following his statements, police raided additional locations in Uttar Pradesh and arrested Amir Khan on February 27, recovering 301 grams of heroin from his family’s farmland.
Investigators said Amir Khan played a central role, procuring heroin from sources and distributing it via couriers. Kayum Khan reportedly sold heroin in Seemapuri, northeast Delhi. Authorities are still identifying and tracking other syndicate members.
