On January 2, 2025, the Delhi Police made a significant drug bust in the Okhla area, seizing heroin valued at over Rs 2.5 crore. The drugs were hidden in a vehicle, and the authorities arrested Sheikh Shahnawaz, a repeat offender with a history of criminal activities. The police had been monitoring Shahnawaz for several weeks before the successful operation.
Shahnawaz, known for his involvement in narcotics trafficking, was apprehended after the drugs were found concealed in the vehicle during a routine police check. The seizure is part of the Delhi Police’s ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and reduce the supply of illegal substances in the capital.
The arrest of Shahnawaz is a significant victory for the Delhi Police, who have been working relentlessly to dismantle drug networks operating within the city. The police are now investigating whether Shahnawaz is part of a larger syndicate and are conducting further raids in the area to uncover additional links to the drug trade.
Authorities have vowed to continue their efforts to crack down on the illegal drug trade, with a particular focus on individuals and groups involved in trafficking narcotics within the city. The police have also urged residents to report any suspicious activity related to drugs and trafficking in their neighborhoods.
