Overview
- Seema, 54, and her sister-in-law Samita, 43, were arrested on August 22 near GTB Hospital while allegedly attempting a delivery in D-Block Jhuggi, Nand Nagri.
- Officers recovered roughly 1.049 kg of high-grade heroin valued at over ₹5 crore, along with a scooter, ₹22,900 in cash, and two mobile phones, with some outlets reporting a higher drug weight.
- Investigators say the syndicate sourced heroin from the Delhi-NCR belt and redistributed it across East and North-East Delhi, using Nand Nagri as a storage and distribution hub.
- Police identify Seema as the network’s coordinator with 10 prior NDPS and over 30 Excise Act cases, wanted in two current NDPS cases, while Samita also has previous cases.
- A case under NDPS Sections 21, 25, and 29 has been registered by the Crime Branch’s Anti-Narcotics Task Force, which says more arrests are possible as the probe tracks suppliers and associates.
