The Delhi Police Special Cell arrested two drug peddlers for supplying fine quality heroin in Delhi and adjoining areas in the national Capital region on Tuesday. The police said that they recovered three kg fine quality heroin worth Rs 12 crore from their possession. “It is also being investigated whether the accused had any links with drug suppliers in Pakistan and Bangladesh,” said a senior police officer. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Cell, Sanjeev Kumar Yadav, said the two accused, Mohammad Jafar and Parvej Saifi, both residents of Bareilly, UP, were arrested on April 11 from near Ghata Masjid, Daryaganj. While Jafar’s bag had two kg of heroin, Saifi’s bag contained one kg heroin. Both the accused were put to sustained interrogation and disclosed that they were members of an international narcotic drug cartel being run by Manipur-based drug supplier, Manjum, said Yadav. “The arrested accused had brought the heroin to Delhi from Manipur by air on April 10. They wrapped drugs in thick layers of carbon papers to avoid detection by scanners installed at airports. Jafar had created a secret cavity in his bag to hoodwink the law enforcing authorities,” said Yadav. The duo had come to Daryaganj to supply heroin to a person of African origin but ran out of luck as they were caught by the police. The accused have supplied more than 50 consignments of heroin from Manipur during last three years. This heroin is further supplied to various Delhi-based persons of African origin residing in Vikaspuri, Tilak Nagar, Shahpur, Uttam Nagar etc. Drugs received by people of African origin are then smuggled to various European and African countries through courier companies, added the official. Jafar has revealed that Manjum has links with drug suppliers in Myanmar. “Apart from getting heroin from Manipur, Manjum also procures huge consignments of heroin from Myanmar,” said Yadav.
