Unraveling the ₹15,000 crore cocaine cartel
Delhi Police have uncovered a huge international cocaine network worth ₹15,000 crore, run using fake pharmaceutical companies like Pharma Solution Services.
The syndicate's operations stretched from Pakistan (Lahore, Mianwali, Sialkot) to Malaysia and the UK.
Two main suspects—Tarandeep Singh Rana and Virender Baisoya—have fled India and are believed to be hiding abroad.
Look-out notices out for absconding masterminds
A tip-off from central agencies led police to a key email created in Pakistan that helped crack the case. This resulted in the seizure of 1,289kg of cocaine and exposed more shell companies involved.
Fourteen people have been arrested—including one with alleged political connections—while look-out notices are out for the absconding masterminds.
Police are now working with international agencies to track them down as drug cartels increasingly use fake pharma firms as cover for their operations.
