In a major breakthrough, the Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested a notorious drug supplier who had been on the run for over eight months. The accused, who had been operating in the shadows for the past eight years, is believed to be responsible for the distribution of more than 500 kilograms of heroin and opium across multiple states in India.
The arrest of the fugitive drug kingpin took place in Bathinda, Punjab, a location that had served as his hideout for nearly a year. According to the Delhi Police Special Cell, the accused had been actively engaged in the illicit drug trade, catering to markets in Delhi, Punjab, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and other regions through a network of well-organized carriers, primarily from Manipur.
