The Derabassi police are continuing their aggressive campaign against drug trafficking as part of the Yudh Nashiyan Virudh initiative, and their efforts are making a noticeable impact. On Sunday, for the fourth consecutive day, police raided Trivedi Camp, a notorious drug hotspot in Derabassi. As a result of these efforts, many drug peddlers have fled the area, abandoning their homes.
Under the supervision of DSP Bikramjit Singh Brar, police teams from the Derabassi police subdivision carried out raids on the homes of suspected drug traffickers in Trivedi Camp. However, by the time the police arrived, the traffickers had already fled. During the raid, the police managed to seize 20 grams of heroin and arrested three individuals: Yusuf Masih, Suraj Kumar, and Naresh alias Teetar, all of whom are residents of Deha Basti in Trivedi Camp.
An FIR has been registered against the accused under Section 21 of the NDPS Act in connection with the heroin recovery. According to DSP Brar, the Yudh Nashiyan Virudh campaign is showing positive results, with numerous drug peddlers and smugglers being apprehended in recent days. Over the past few days, 15 drug smugglers and peddlers have been arrested, and nine FIRs have been filed across various police stations in the area. The raids have resulted in the recovery of 1 kg of opium, 47 grams of heroin, 150 drug capsules, 13.5 liters of illicit liquor, Rs 80,000 in drug money, and two vehicles used in trafficking operations.
In addition, the police have also seized household items purchased with illicit drug money in coordination with the local panchayat, under Section 27(a) of the NDPS Act.
