Six men were arrested for allegedly smuggling narcotics from Bangkok to India and pushing them into Delhi-NCR through a network of carriers, with profits routed abroad to kingpins based in Dubai and Thailand, an official said on Saturday (September 6, 2025).
High-quality cannabis weighing about 5.7 kg along with three vehicles and two passports was recovered from them, police said, adding that the crackdown has disrupted a cross-border trafficking module running on the Thailand-India route.
The syndicate purchased high-quality cannabis in Bangkok for around ₹1.5 lakh per kilogram and sold it in Delhi-NCR for ₹6.7 lakh per kilogram, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Harsh Indora said.
The proceeds were allegedly routed through multiple bank accounts to a Dubai-based handler named Ishan, the DCP said.
"Carriers were lured with promises of foreign trips, easy commissions and cash. They were flown to Bangkok, where local suppliers handed over sealed packets of cannabis," he added.
