The Crime Branch has busted an interstate racket involved in supply of narcotics substance in various parts of NCR with the arrest of Pabbar Giri (40) and Sumit (30) from Sector-13, Dwarka, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav said.
On December 16, police received information about Giri and Sumit coming from Dwarka Mor in their car loaded with large quantity of cannabis, he said.
"Three plastic bags containing 81.250 kg Marijuana (Ganja) were recovered from the car. A case under the NDPS Act was registered and both of them have been arrested," Yadav said.
Giri was arrested in 2012 by the Crime Branch in an Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act case and was later convicted by the trial court. He came out of jail around two years back and again started supplying cannabis in Delhi and Gurgaon on a large scale, he said.
