New Delhi, Jan 2 : In view of the strict police security due to the pandemic situation, drug suppliers have been making way into Delhi through various means.
Taking advantage of the curbs, a gang used a tempo with a ‘Covid supply essential service’ sticker pasted on their vehicle to peddle drugs, dodging cops in the route from Odisha to the national capital. Delhi police have arrested two men and recovered 950 kg of marijuana from their possession.
Police said that acting on a tip-off, a trap was laid to nab Chandan Shah and Krishan Deo on January 1 in Delhi’s Nangloi, where their tempo loaded with contraband, was intercepted and the arrests were made along with the recovery.
