The Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN) has confiscated more than 105 kg of narcotics in two separate operations conducted in Rajasthan, leading to the arrest of one individual. These actions are part of the ongoing anti-drug campaign under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.
Operation in Jhalawar District
In the first operation, carried out on Monday in Jhalawar district, CBN officials recovered 3.641 kg of MD (mephedrone) from a house located in Guradiya Joga village of Pachpahar tehsil. Acting on specific intelligence inputs regarding alleged narcotics trafficking, a joint team from the CBN's Kota and Bhawanimandi cells conducted a raid on the premises. After completing all legal formalities, officials searched the locked house and discovered the banned synthetic drug along with 7.060 kg of suspected powder, which has been sent for further examination. The seized materials were confiscated under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. Further investigation is underway to identify other individuals linked to the network.
Operation in Chittorgarh District
In another operation, CBN officials seized 101.720 kg of doda chura and a tractor-trolley in Chittorgarh district. This action followed intelligence inputs indicating that a tractor carrying narcotics was moving through the Nimbahera route. Officials from the CBN's Chittorgarh Cell intercepted the vehicle near the Ochhdi toll plaza on the Chittorgarh-Nimbahera highway on Sunday and subjected it to a detailed search. During questioning, the driver allegedly disclosed that the contraband was concealed beneath a load of stones in the trolley. The vehicle was then taken to the CBN office, where officials found 101.720 kg of doda chura hidden inside five specially made compartments beneath the stones. The narcotics and the vehicle were seized, and one accused was arrested under the NDPS Act. Officials stated that further investigation is in progress to trace the source and intended destination of the consignment.
Appeal to the Public
The agency also appealed to the public to assist in combating narcotics-related crimes by sharing information regarding suspicious drug-related activities. The CBN Rajasthan Unit can be contacted through its control room, WhatsApp helpline, or official email, with the identity of informants kept confidential. The CBN emphasized that the identity of those providing information will be protected.
