New Delhi: Delhi Police made one of its biggest drug hauls in recent years while probing the nexus between international drug smugglers and militants. The cops arrested Ram Naresh, a Delhi-based smuggler, with 250kg of Ephedrine and Amphetamine tablets worth over Rs 200 crore.
Officials said these drugs are smuggled from Delhi to Myanmar and China via Manipur by conduits based in northeastern states and sold in parties. Proceeds from the sales are used by terrorist outfits to fund their activities.
Ram Naresh used to procure the drugs from one Rakesh of 'Grand Pharma' in Patiala, officials said. The tablets were kept in 50 polythene packets in 10 wooden boxes and the consignment was supposed to be sent to Guwahati through a transport company in Janakpuri.
The accused had kept the boxes at his driver's house in Dabri area before coming to Delhi by air, where he was intercepted near IGI airport on Saturday, the officials added. Delhi Police had unearthed the nexus in March-April this year when it arrested two suspects — Yahiphaba and Napoleon — and seized 200kg of ephedrine from them. Information about Ram Naresh came to light during interrogation of Napoleon and Yahiphaba.
