The Delhi Police on Wednesday busted an international drug syndicate and recovered 500 kg cocaine worth Rs 2,000 crore. The action was taken by Delhi Police's Special Cell, which also arrested four accused in the case. The police suspect a narco-terror angle to the case and hence are moving the investigation in that direction.
Notably, this is one of the biggest drug busts ever seen in the city, seizing over 560 kilograms of cocaine estimated to be worth around Rs 2,000 crore, officials said.
A Delhi Police Special Cell team nabbed four people from South Delhi's Mehrauli and confiscated the consignment weighing over 565 kilograms.
The officials said those arrested had planned to sell the cocaine in Delhi and the National Capital Region.
They said the Special Cell team had been working for over two months based on a tip-off which led to the bust just before the festive season. The four people are being interrogated and a probe is on, police said.
