The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) announced a major breakthrough against drug trafficking by dismantling the 'Team Kalki' network. This organization, operating on the dark web, has been under NCB's radar for the past three months.
With the arrest of Anurag Thakur and Vikas Rathi, the bureau seized substantial amounts of drugs, including LSD and MDMA. The network, which had shipped over 1,000 consignments since January 2025, utilized encrypted communication to maintain secrecy.
NCB uncovered that the network sourced drugs from international vendors and employed methods like 'dead drop' for deliveries. This crackdown highlights the increasing use of technology in illicit drug distribution.
