The Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted a gang of drug traffickers, arresting three individuals, including a woman and a teenage girl, officials revealed on Friday.

Officers recovered 41.5 kilograms of marijuana, valued around Rs 20.75 lakh in the international market. The drugs were transported by train from Odisha to Delhi.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime) Satish Kumar, the accused posed as a family to avoid suspicion. A tip-off led to their arrest near Shakur Basti railway station. The arrested individuals were identified as Anita (45) and Aman Rana (26).

Anita initially misled police by claiming to be the mother of Aman and the teenage girl. However, further interrogation revealed her involvement in drug trafficking for the past two years. Aman Rana, a school dropout, is Anita's nephew. The minor was lured by easy money, police stated.
