In two separate operations, the Delhi Police have arrested four drug peddlers and seized a total of 390 grams of heroin, valued at Rs 2.23 crore. The arrests were made on Friday, as part of an ongoing crackdown on drug trafficking in the city.
The first operation led to the arrest of Sahidul Khan, alias Babu Khan, from Bhalaswa Dairy, who was found in possession of 294 grams of heroin. Khan, a repeat offender with multiple criminal cases, is suspected of supplying drugs to other criminals. His arrest follows a previous bust where a couple, Sunny and Sarika, were caught with 280 grams of heroin in Mangolpuri. Investigations revealed that Khan had been their supplier.
In the second operation, the police apprehended Anju, alias Gauri Bhabhi, in Jahangirpuri. She was caught with 96 grams of heroin. Further investigation connected her to Sheikh Shahnawaz, alias Sohail, a drug dealer with a history of 13 prior cases, including theft and violations of the Arms Act. Shahnawaz had previously been arrested with 402 grams of heroin.
The Delhi Police continue to investigate these arrests as part of their efforts to dismantle drug trafficking networks in the region.
