In the first operation, police personnel on patrol acted on a specific tip-off and apprehended Mohammed Sufiyan, son of Mohammed Nasir (25), near the Railway Quarters in the Tehsil police limits. A search of the accused led to the recovery of 12 grams of MD powder, valued at approximately Rs 1 lakh. Police alleged that he was carrying the contraband with the intention of selling it for financial gain.
In another operation conducted near Mayo Hospital, police arrested Mohammed Shayan Nadeem Saifi (28) during routine patrolling. Officers recovered around 4 grams of MD powder, along with a mobile phone and a car, with the total value of the seized property estimated at Rs 4 lakh.
Both accused have been booked under the relevant provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and have been taken into custody.
During the preliminary investigation, police discovered that one of the cases has suspected links to a Hyderabad-based drug trafficking network. Investigators are now working to identify the suppliers, trace the distribution chain and uncover the broader interstate nexus behind the illegal narcotics trade.
Nagpur Police said the crackdown under Operation Thunder will continue with sustained action against drug peddlers and syndicates in a bid to curb the availability of narcotic substances and protect the city’s youth from drug abuse.
