13 Oct
Summary
- Women informants led police to a drug network.
- Police seized 590g of smack worth Rs 1.25 crore.
- An operation under Mission Shakti led to three arrests.
A significant drug-smuggling network was apprehended in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, following a crucial tip-off from local women to a dedicated women-led police team. This intelligence, gathered during an awareness campaign under Mission Shakti 6.0, initiated an operation that culminated in a dramatic shootout on National Highway 58. Three accused individuals were arrested, and contraband valued at an estimated Rs 1.25 crore was seized.
The operation, codenamed Operation Savera, targeted drug traffickers as part of Mission Shakti 6.0. Police received information about suspected narcotics dealers at Kukra Ground and moved in. When the suspects opened fire, police returned shots in self-defense, resulting in one accused sustaining a leg injury. A subsequent search led to the recovery of 590 grams of smack, an illegal firearm, cartridges, and cash.
Interrogation revealed that the accused procured narcotics from Uttarakhand's Haridwar district and distributed them in Muzaffarnagar. The arrested individuals have been identified, and the injured suspect received medical treatment. This successful bust highlights the effectiveness of community engagement and women's participation in law enforcement efforts.
