In a comprehensive anti-narcotics operation, Mahendragarh police in Haryana, India, arrested 11 individuals, including a Nigerian national, believed to be part of a drug trafficking network linked to the National Capital Region. The crackdown began on March 13, when officers apprehended a local peddler with 19 grams of heroin and ₹13,900 in suspected drug proceeds. Following this, a series of arrests led to the Nigerian suspect on March 31, from whom police recovered ₹18,500 in proceeds and ₹32,300 in counterfeit currency. Subsequent operations resulted in the seizure of 63 grams of ganja and 220 intoxicant capsules.
