Acting on a tip-off, the woman was arrested from IGNOU Road, Neb Sarai, South Delhi. Police recovered 512 grams of hashish and 1,200 grams of marijuana powder (Morocco).
During interrogation, she revealed that after her husband’s arrest in a Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) case, she got involved in the illegal trade for a few months.
She further disclosed that her son managed the entire network, overseeing drug deliveries and maintaining client records. He is currently residing in Birpara, Jalpaiguri, West Bengal, near the Nepal border. The mother procured ganja and hashish from Nepal via train, with her son handling the supply chain.
Additionally, she confessed to supplying drugs in 10-gram packets in affluent areas of Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida. Following her son’s instructions, she received client locations via WhatsApp, coordinated deliveries through porters, and collected payments online.
The police stated that investigations are ongoing to dismantle the entire supply chain and track down other associates involved in the syndicate.
