Heroin Worth ₹2.04 Crore Recovered
During the operation, officers seized 511 grams of heroin valued at approximately ₹2.04 crore in the international market. Police also recovered two mobile phones and a mixer grinder from their residence, suspected to be used in drug processing and packaging.
Couple Delivered Drugs to Rave Parties & High-Profile Gatherings
According to investigators, the arrested couple worked together to deliver heroin to clients across Mumbai. Their supply network allegedly included rave parties and high-profile drug gatherings, where they delivered narcotics based on demand.
ANC Laid Trap After Specific Tip-Off
The ANC Kandivali Unit had received a tip-off that the couple would be arriving with a bag full of drugs. Acting on this intelligence, a team led by Senior Police Officer Jagdale laid a trap and intercepted the accused at the location.
FIR Registered Under NDPS Act
Following the arrest, an FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Both accused are now in custody.
Probe to Identify Main Supplier & Wider Drug Network
