Major Drug Racket Busted Near Delhi University: 5 Arrested, Students Were the Target
Introduction
In a significant breakthrough, the Delhi Police and the Anti-Narcotics Task Force have uncovered and busted a drug racket operating near Delhi University’s North Campus. The operation has led to the arrest of five individuals and the seizure of illegal pharmaceutical drugs worth over ₹1 lakh.
What Happened?
According to official sources, the accused were involved in the illegal supply of pharmaceutical drugs — primarily targeting students in and around the DU campus. The arrest followed a well-coordinated investigation by law enforcement, who acted swiftly on a tip-off.
What Was Seized?
During the raid, the following items were recovered:
- 2,360 Tramadol capsules
- 135 bottles of Codeine syrup
- 5 mobile phones used for coordination and transactions
The estimated value of the confiscated drugs is ₹1 lakh+, which indicates a large-scale operation aimed at manipulating student demand.
Why Is This Dangerous?
Prescription drugs like Tramadol and Codeine are classified under regulated substances. Without proper medical supervision, their misuse can lead to serious health complications, addiction, and even death. The fact that these were being distributed without prescriptions raises major safety and ethical concerns.
Who Was the Target?
Shockingly, the primary target audience was DU students — making this not just a criminal act, but a direct threat to student health, safety, and academic well-being.
What Can You Do?
At DuWaale, we believe that awareness is the first step to safety. Here’s what you can do to help:
- Stay alert in and around campus areas
- Do not consume or purchase any medicines without a doctor’s prescription
- Report suspicious activity to campus security or the police
- Support your peers in making safe and healthy choices
Conclusion
This incident is a serious wake-up call. While law enforcement has taken a major step, it’s up to all of us — students, educators, and citizens — to ensure that our campuses remain safe and drug-free.
Let’s build a community of awareness, responsibility, and support.
