Proclaimed Offender Arrested: Unveiling an Interstate Drug Syndicate

The Delhi Police have arrested Nikhil, a key figure in an interstate drug syndicate, recovering cash over Rs 4.34 lakh. Nikhil, involved in multiple criminal cases, was wanted in a heroin trafficking case and had been evading arrest. The investigation continues to unearth the drug network.

The Delhi Police have apprehended a proclaimed offender linked to a significant interstate drug network. Identified as Nikhil, he was detained in southwest Delhi with over Rs 4.34 lakh in cash, according to official reports.

Nikhil, prominently involved in orchestrating heroin distribution, was sought in a past case tied to narcotic recovery from Bhalswa Dairy. Despite his efforts to evade capture, law enforcement targeted him on January 16 after a tip-off regarding his whereabouts in Sadh Nagar.

Born in Karol Bagh in 1998, Nikhil's early involvement in the drug trade, alongside his family, paints a picture of entrenched criminal activity. The ongoing investigation seeks to dismantle the broader drug syndicate and uncover further supply routes.
