A 28-year-old man named Neeraj Kumar was arrested by the Delhi Police on Wednesday for his alleged involvement in an interstate drug syndicate. The police recovered approximately 52 kgs of marijuana from a hidden cavity built under the rear seat and dickey of the car that he was driving. Neeraj Kumar is a resident of Bihar’s Bhojpur district.
The police received information about a consignment containing narcotics, specifically ganja, which was being transported in a Toyota Corolla car. The police then trailed the suspect through extensive surveillance and established his route from Odisha to Delhi. They found out that he regularly commutes but could not establish the registration number of the suspected cars.
The police laid a trap near Bhalswa Jheel, based on the information shared by the advance team following the car’s route. They intercepted the suspected Toyota Corolla car and arrested the driver. During a detailed search of the car, it was found that the dickey of the car was smaller than its normal size. Further, a hidden cavity under the rear seat covered with a wooden plate and fixed with screws was revealed, specially designed for concealing contraband. After removing the wooden plate, around 52 Kg Marijuana (Ganja) was recovered from the car.
During interrogation, it was revealed that one Chandan alias Arvind Kumar handed over the Toyota Corolla car to Neeraj with directions to meet him at Phulbani, Odisha. Chandan went to Phulbani by train to purchase Ganja and finalize the deal with one supplier. Neeraj reached Phulbani by road in the car and handed it over to Chandan. Ganja was loaded in the car and handed over to Neeraj for supplying it in different locations in Delhi.
Chandan returned to Delhi by train and shared the location on Neeraj’s mobile phone to hand over the same car to him. However, after reaching Delhi, Neeraj was nabbed by the police.
