New Delhi, April 24 -- The ongoing Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (NMBA), the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of the Delhi Police Crime Branch, has dismantled a major drug syndicate, arresting a key operative and seizing heroin worth over Rs 50 lakh in the illicit market, the officials said on Thursday.

The operation marks another step forward in Delhi Police's firm stance on its "zero tolerance" policy towards drug trafficking.

The investigation began with the arrest of one Imran alias Chaddi alias Mota on April 4, in Kabir Nagar of the national capital.

He was caught red-handed while attempting to deliver 315 grams of heroin from a car.

A case was promptly registered under Sections 21 and 25 of the NDPS Act at PS Crime Branch.
