CCB cracks 10 NDPS cases and arrests 19 peddlers and recover synthetic drugs worth ₹7.06 crore

The anti-narcotics wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB), in a special drive against drug peddlers, busted a racket and arrested a gang of seven people from Kerala who were using online delivery apps to supply drugs.

The accused, according to the CCB officials, were operating from a rented house in Ashoknagar and would pack the drugs in gift boxes to deliver to their customers and receive the cash in the same packages in return.

The accused were sourcing the drugs from African nationals and running the racket for the last few months before the CCB officials, based on a tip-off, tracked them down and arrested them.
