Drug trafficker arrested with smack worth 18 lakh in Jaipur
Jaipur: As part of the city police's ongoing operation against drug trafficking racket, the Crime Branch Sunday arrested a drug trafficker and seized 90 gram of smack worth Rs 18 lakh from his possession in Sanganer.
DCP (Crime) Kundan Kanwaria said the accused was identified as Kamlesh Tanwar (21), a resident of Lasudiya Gaid village in Aklera tehsil, Jhalawar district.
"Acting on specific intelligence inputs, a joint operation was carried out by the team under the Sanganer Sadar police station area. During the raid, police recovered a packet containing 90 gram of smack and a mobile phone used in the drug distribution network," Kanwaria said, adding that a case under the NDPS Act was also registered.
He said the accused was actively involved in supplying smack in different areas of Jaipur. During initial questioning, the accused revealed that the drugs were provided by his brother Ramvilas Tanwar and were meant to be delivered to a person named Pawan Gurjar in the Vatika area of Jaipur. The accused confessed that he brought illegal narcotics from Aklera to Jaipur to fund his lifestyle and personal indulgences.
Kamlesh used mobile communication to coordinate with other members of the network and to facilitate on-demand delivery of drugs, particularly in areas densely populated with hostels and paying guest accommodations. The operation was conducted under the supervision of Additional DCP (Organised Crime) Richhpal Singh and with key coordination by Constable Rajesh of the CST team.
The crackdown is part of the ongoing operation Clean Sweep, which aims to dismantle drug trafficking networks operating in Jaipur city. Police are now tracing the supply chain further up the ladder and are pursuing leads related to Kamlesh's brother and other potential receivers of the consignment.
Police said that they are continuing with these operations with an aim to track down large suppliers of the drug products and also to track down the main delivery points in the city.
