The Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN) has confiscated more than 105 kilograms of narcotics in two separate operations across Rajasthan, leading to the arrest of one individual. These actions are part of the ongoing anti-drug campaign under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.
First Operation in Jhalawar District
In the first operation conducted on Monday in Jhalawar district, CBN officials recovered 3.641 kilograms of MD (mephedrone) from a house in Guradiya Joga village, located in Pachpahar tehsil. Acting on specific intelligence inputs regarding alleged narcotics trafficking, a joint team from the CBN's Kota and Bhawanimandi cells raided the premises. After completing legal formalities, officials searched the locked house and discovered the banned synthetic drug along with 7.060 kilograms of suspected powder, which has been sent for further examination. The seized material was 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.
Second Operation in Chittorgarh District
In another operation, CBN officials seized 101.720 kilograms of doda chura and a tractor-trolley in Chittorgarh district. The action followed intelligence inputs that a tractor carrying narcotics was moving through the Nimbahera route. Officials of the CBN's Chittorgarh Cell intercepted the vehicle near Ochhdi toll plaza on the Chittorgarh-Nimbahera highway on Sunday and subjected it to a detailed search. During questioning, the driver allegedly disclosed that 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 kilograms 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 being kept confidential. The CBN reiterated its commitment to eradicating drug abuse and urged citizens to cooperate in this national mission.
