In the city of Ahmedabad, the Crime Branch has cracked down on drug trafficking once again, this time from Narol and SG Highway. In just two days, they have seized more than 1.20 crore worth of MDMA drugs. Furthermore, in the past month, the Crime Branch has taken possession of over 2 crore worth of cases, investigating 9 NDPS-related cases. One drug peddler had been bringing in drugs from Rajasthan based on orders, while another had been transporting drugs in a rickshaw from Palanpur within three days.

In Narol, a peddler was apprehended with drugs at Shimla Hotel

As per the available information, the Ahmedabad Crime Branch intercepted Taufik, alias Tiger Ghanchi, at a Shimla Hotel located near Narol Bridge with a haul of 521.800 grams of drugs. Tiger had been operating from Udaipur for quite some time and was involved in supplying drugs to Ahmedabad, primarily at the behest of a person named Arif Pathan. Arif would source drugs from various drug dealers in Ahmedabad whenever he received an order and then would dispatch Tiger Asaraf Mansuri, a drug peddler, to transport the drugs to Ahmedabad.

Arif Detained in Hotel for Four to Five Days

Arif, upon arriving in Ahmedabad, stayed in a hotel for four to five days. During this time, he supplied various drugs to different drug dealers. He received payment for these drugs either online or through money transfers. Accused Taufik, Imrankhan Pathan, and Zahir Vora placed drug orders with Arif. Subsequently, Arif sent one kilogram of methadone drugs from Udaipur, Rajasthan, to Suhel Asaraf Mansuri after receiving the drug orders.

Seizure of Drugs Worth 52.18 Lakhs

Suhel Asaraf Mansuri, who arrived in Ahmedabad from Udaipur five days ago, was detained at the Shimla Hotel near Narol Bridge.

Subsequently, Taufik was apprehended again while attempting to acquire drugs from Suhel Asaraf Mansuri. A total of 52.18 lakhs worth of drugs were seized from him.
