Delhi Police arrested 29-year-old Vishal Singh, an interstate drug peddler, in the Saket area of South Delhi on April 4, 2025. Acting on a tip-off, the police intercepted Singh during a late-night operation and seized 29.70 grams of cocaine and 5 grams of methamphetamine (MD), valued at over Rs4.5 lakh.
Singh, a former taxi driver from Noida, was linked to a Nigerian-based drug syndicate and had been distributing narcotics across the Delhi-NCR region. Prior to his arrest, Singh had worked under another drug peddler, Aakash, who was arrested in 2024. Following Aakash’s arrest, Singh took over the delivery network and earned Rs1,000 per delivery.
On the night of his arrest, Singh attempted to flee on his motorcycle but was intercepted by the police team near Fish Market Road in Saket. The authorities successfully apprehended him, along with the seized narcotics and the motorcycle used in the crime.
The police are continuing their investigation to uncover the broader supply network and connections within the drug syndicate. Singh’s arrest marks another significant step in disrupting illegal drug distribution in Delhi.
