Unmasking the 'Mephedrone King': Unraveling an International Drug Syndicate

Mohammad Salim Dola, a suspected international drug trafficker arrested in Turkiye, is now under investigation by the Narcotics Control Bureau in India. Alleged to have close ties with terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, Dola has links with chemists aiding his illicit drug operations. He allegedly sought Turkiye citizenship and plans asset purchases there.

Mohammad Salim Dola, dubbed the 'Mephedrone King,' is under intense scrutiny by Indian authorities following his recent capture and extradition from Turkiye. Dola, implicated in a trans-national drug syndicate, is believed to be a key associate of terrorist Dawood Ibrahim.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai is investigating his network connections with local chemists and pharmaceutical dealers aiding his illicit operations. According to officials, these chemists are integral to his operations, and further questioning is anticipated as the investigation deepens.

Dola reportedly used aliases like 'Hamza' and 'Abdul' while in Turkiye and planned to purchase real estate to establish residency. The Ministry of Home Affairs confirms Dola's involvement in high-value narcotics seizures across Maharashtra and Gujarat over two decades, marking him as a significant international criminal figure.
