Delhi Police have arrested Tushar Malhotra, a 26-year-old medical store owner from Motia Khan, during a raid in Paharganj on April 2. This operation was part of a broader investigation stemming from a case registered at the Nihal Vihar police station on March 26, where three individuals were arrested with illegal substances, including codeine syrup and Buprenorphine tablets. Following interrogations, police acted on a lead that led them to Malhotra's store, where they seized 60 bottles of codeine-based cough syrup and 296 Tramadol capsules after he failed to provide valid purchase records.
