New Delhi, October 5, 2026: Delhi Police have busted an interstate heroin manufacturing and supply network, arresting four people and seizing narcotics estimated to be worth around ₹50 crore in the international market. The operation has exposed what investigators describe as a wider chain involved in processing, transporting and distributing heroin across multiple states.
Four Accused Arrested
Police arrested four people allegedly linked to the network after tracking their movements and suspected supply routes.
Investigators are now examining the roles played by each accused in the manufacturing, storage and distribution of the narcotics.
Heroin Worth Around ₹50 Crore Seized
A substantial quantity of heroin was recovered during the operation.
Police estimated the seized contraband to be worth nearly ₹50 crore, making it one of the significant narcotics seizures reported in Delhi in recent days.
Interstate Supply Chain Under Probe
The case is not limited to Delhi alone.
Investigators suspect that the group was part of a larger interstate network supplying heroin to different regions, with links extending beyond the national capital.
Manufacturing Angle Also Emerges
Police are also probing the manufacturing side of the operation.
The investigation is focused on identifying locations where the drug may have been processed, the source of raw material and the people involved in financing and organising the network.
Multiple States May Be Connected
Preliminary findings indicate that the alleged network may have operated across more than one state.
Teams are expected to conduct further raids and questioning to identify additional suppliers, handlers and distributors.
Digital and Financial Trails Being Examined
Investigators are likely to scrutinise mobile phones, call records, financial transactions and other digital evidence recovered from the accused.
These records could help establish the scale of the network and identify other individuals connected to the operation.
Crackdown on Narcotics Intensifies
Delhi Police have stepped up action against organised drug trafficking networks, particularly those involved in high-value narcotics and interstate supply chains.
Authorities have repeatedly warned that such networks often rely on layered distribution systems to avoid detection.
Further Arrests Possible
Police have indicated that the investigation is continuing.
More arrests and recoveries could follow if additional members of the alleged network are identified during interrogation and follow-up raids.
