Police bust two gangs involved in drug trafficking

With the arrest of two men, including a Myanmar national, the Delhi police today claimed to have busted two gangs involved in drug trafficking one of which was being run as a family business.
Sleuths of Narcotics Cell of Crime Branch have recovered 500 gm of heroin and 30 kg pseudo-ephedrine worth Rs 1 crore 60 lakh in both the cases, police said.
In the first case, Mohd Mushtaq (28) a resident of Loni, Uttar Pradesh was arrested from out gate of ISBT Anand Vihar on February 26.
"He revealed that his father Rafiq is a well known drug trafficker and has developed a well organized network for supply of heroin in Delhi and NCR. Previously, he lived near old Yamuna Bridge but had later shifted to UP. His wife Mumtaz was also arrested by police in 1998. He later married one Shehjadi in 2005 who lives in Bawana", said Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav.

"Now, Rafiq supplies heroin to Shehjadi for its further distribution in Bawana and other parts of Delhi. Rafiq's sister Ajmeri is also involved in this network while her husband is also a drug trafficker," he said.
Efforts are on to nab other members of this "family gang", he said.

In the second case, Tlang Tin, resident of Myanmar, was arrested from near MTNL Office, Sector-6, Dwarka with 30 kg of Pseudo-Ephedrine on Wednesday.
"He has disclosed that about 4 years ago, his family migrated from Myanmar to Mizoram (India) due to state atrocities and since then they are having refugee status in India. He shifted to Delhi with his family in the year June 2010," said Yadav.

Meanwhile, he met one fellow Burmese in Hastsal, Uttam Nagar, who introduced him with one Sanga, who arranged a room on rent for him in West Delhi.
Sanga is having contacts with pharmaceutical companies in North India from where he used to procure these medicines without bills. Sanga further supplied those controlled medicines to Mizoram and Myanmar through him and other carriers.
