The Haryana State Narcotics Control Bureau’s Gurgaon unit recently busted a drug smuggling operation that’s worth a whopping Rs 2.5 crore. Three men ended up in hot water after attempting to send the drugs to Israel using a courier service. Here’s the lowdown on the whole deal.
Back in August, ASI Sandeep, the man behind the mission, swooped down on a Udyog Vihar courier company. Inside a package destined for Ramat Gan in Tel Aviv, Israel, they discovered a stash of 512 grams of amphetamine. The drug bust went down on August 9, but it took a bit of detective work to track down the culprits.
Turns out, the three shady characters responsible for this illicit shipment are Zubair Khan and Rajeev Tripathi from Jaipur, and Ram Lal from Himachal Pradesh. Khan and Tripathi got nabbed on a Thursday, and they caught Lal on the following Friday.
The Haryana State Narcotics Control Bureau’s Gurgaon unit isn’t done yet; they’re on the lookout for more folks involved in this operation. If you stumble upon any suspicious drug activity, do your part and call their toll-free number at 90508-91508.
According to ASI Sandeep, it’s becoming quite a common gig to discover drugs in courier company packages around these parts. They were tipped off by the company staff after an X-ray scan raised suspicions about one particular box. Lo and behold, it had an Israeli address on it.
When they cracked it open, they found a bedsheet, two pillow covers, and a wristband (the kind with Rudraksha beads in the middle). Hidden inside the bedsheet was a sneaky little polythene packet, which, you guessed it, turned out to be amphetamine. The whole shebang was enough to trigger the filing of an FIR under the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Act Section 21C/61/85 at the Udyog Vihar police station.
And just in case you thought this was an isolated incident, in October, they stumbled upon 155 grams of opium cunningly concealed under the soles of a pair of shoes intended for the US. This little surprise was uncovered at another courier company in Udyog Vihar, Gurgaon.

Delhi’s Home Minister, Ashish Sood, has made a public appeal to all citizens of Delhi, urging them to assist security agencies in identifying Pakistani nationals who are staying in the city without legal authorization. The appeal comes after the Indian government’s decision to suspend visa services for Pakistani nationals. All existing valid visas issued to Pakistani citizens, except long-term visas (LTVs) and diplomatic and official visas, have been canceled with immediate effect.
The Delhi government has set a deadline between April 26 and 29, 2025, for Pakistani nationals whose visas have been canceled to leave India. Additionally, no new visas will be issued to any Pakistani citizen. This move is part of the broader efforts to address security concerns arising from the illegal presence of Pakistani nationals in Delhi.
Minister Sood emphasized that the safety and security of Delhi residents are a top priority. He urged citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious Pakistani nationals residing in the city illegally. If any resident comes across someone they suspect is staying in Delhi without proper documentation, they are encouraged to immediately notify the nearest police station.
The Delhi government is fully cooperating with the Indian government’s directives to ensure that all illegal Pakistani nationals are identified and deported in coordination with the Delhi Police and other relevant agencies. This initiative aims to safeguard the city’s security while maintaining a transparent and cooperative approach from its residents.

A 28-year-old businessman was stabbed to death in Delhi’s Bhajanpura area on Friday night. Police said they have picked up six minors linked to the case.
The victim, Shakir, who ran a shop selling disposable plates and bowls, lived in Subhash Mohalla. Around 9:30 pm, people found him badly injured on the street and quickly rushed him to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital. Sadly, doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Police got a call about the incident at 9:31 pm and reached the spot. They registered a murder case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and started investigating. A crime team and forensic experts checked the area for clues.
Officers looked at CCTV footage and spoke to people nearby. With the help of local information, they identified six boys, aged between 13 and 15, who were later taken into custody.
During questioning, the boys admitted that they attacked Shakir to make a name for themselves in the local crime world, police said. They happened to come across him while wandering in the area and randomly chose him as their target.
Police also recovered the knife used in the attack based on what the minors told them. Later, another section, 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, was added to the case.
