A collaborative operation between Delhi and Telangana Police, with support from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), resulted in the arrest of ten individuals linked to an international drug cartel that utilized courier services to smuggle narcotics.

Among those apprehended are three foreign nationals, part of an African-led network covertly transporting drugs from Delhi-NCR to Telangana by concealing them in the collars of shirts.

The crackdown, which unfolded over the last 24 hours, also led to the detention of 40 foreign nationals for deportation, with police continuing to investigate further links and financial networks associated with the criminal syndicate.
