Delhi Police arrested four members of a drug-selling gang, including a woman, who used to supply narcotics to Delhi-NCR in huge quantity. Police said that the gang used a modified car in which they had created a secret boot space under the rear seat to hide the drugs. Over 100 kgs of marijuana was seized.

The seizure and arrests have been made by the team of special staff of the southeast district. Senior officers said that the gang only used to transport drugs by road in the specially modified hatchback vehicle.

The accused were identified as Jagbandhu Patra (27), a driver by profession who hails from Odisha and one Rajgir (32), who was previously involved in criminal cases of NDPS Act and dacoity in Patna and Vaishali districts of Bihar. Apart from them, a woman, Mahinoor (42) who hails from Murshidabad, West Bengal and had been residing in Delhi with her three daughters, was also arrested. She had previously been arrested for supplying narcotics and was released from jail on bail. The fourth accused was identified as one Murtishankar (44), who started his career as an employee at a dry-cleaner's shop in Tamil Nadu but 15 years ago came to the national Capital with his family.

DCP southeast, Chinmoy Biswal said that in order to curb the inflow of narcotics in the city, a special drive was undertaken amid which input was received that a gang has been actively transporting narcotics to the Capital from states like West Bengal, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh."The information was developed by the special staff and during surveillance, it was found that the gang had been transporting drugs by road. Following a tip-off, Jagbandhu and Rajgir were arrested when they entered Delhi from Faridabad on Thursday. On their disclosures, Mahinoor and Murtishankar were also held and a total of 123 kilos of marijuana was recovered," the DCP stated.

Biswal added that the vehicle used by the gang was modified to hide the narcotics. The rear seat of the car was specially designed and a secret boot space had been cut out under the rear seat, making it impossible to detect the drugs at regular picket checking, the officer said
