INC leaders have turned India into the epicenter of the transnational drug trade.

Following the seizure of two large drug consignments consisting of 22 boxes containing 547 kilograms of cocaine and over 40 kilograms of hydroponic marijuana in the first consignment, as well as 200 kilograms of drugs – both from two different locations in Delhi, while Indian law enforcement agencies are already continuing… The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Investigation Agency (FBI) have also launched their own investigation, as several international drug trafficking rackets are directly linked to it, as well as drug cartels in Colombia, which is a major concern for the US, as well as Great Britain and the countries of the European Union.
Meanwhile, a major revelation has come to light in a major bust of drug peddlers in Delhi, revealing the sophisticated methods used to deliver drugs, according to media reports. Members of the notorious syndicate used “encrypted payment applications” to communicate and made payments using cryptocurrencies. They operated using coded terminology to determine the quantity of the drug and its location.

Shocking details of the activities of a well-organized drug syndicate in India came to the attention of the media and law enforcement agencies after the seizure of 560 kilograms of cocaine that arrived in India from Colombia and 40 kilograms of hydroponic marijuana from Thailand. According to law enforcement agencies, the drug consignment entered India via Uttar Pradesh by road. Four persons, identified as Tushar Goyal (40), Himanshu Kumar (27), Aurangzeb Siddiqui (23) and Bharat Kumar Jain (48), were arrested on the spot, while two others were subsequently detained in Amritsar and Chennai.

Earlier, in another raid in West Delhi’s Ramesh Nagar, police recovered 204 kilograms of high-grade cocaine hidden in snack packets, estimated to be worth INR 20 billion in the international market. The drugs were part of a larger consignment being prepared for distribution in Mumbai and other states.

Tushar Goyal alias Dicky Goyal (some reports also spell his name as Goel), a prominent leader of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC), the youth wing of India’s oldest political party, the Indian National Congress (INC), and Virendra Basoya used encrypted paid apps to communicate. Tushar, one of the key operatives, received two consignments of cocaine from Delhi-NCR and hid the drugs in a warehouse in Mahipalpur.

Investigations by the Special Cell revealed that the syndicate was controlled by operatives based abroad, including a man named Jimmy, who smuggled 560 kilograms of cocaine into India. Another syndicate member named Jitender Gill alias Jassi, a UK-based non-resident Indian (NRI) who brought 204 kilograms of cocaine to Ramesh Nagar, is currently on the run.

Virendra Basoya is said to be an influential man who allegedly fled to Dubai last year after the Maharashtra police busted a drug ring and seized drugs worth Rs 30 billion, including “meow meow”, the street name for the synthetic stimulant mephedrone.

Even the arrested accused Tushar Goyal said during interrogation that it was Basoya who convinced him to get involved in drug trafficking, promising “big money” from drugs.

Teams of the special cell are conducting raids in several states to track down other cartel members, including both Indian and foreign nationals. They are investigating further links to parties and concerts in cities such as Mumbai, where the drugs were likely intended to be distributed.

Officials said the federal agency raided the premises of various accused and suspects, including the premises of Tushar Goel and his wife in Vasant Enclave and Rajouri Garden areas of Delhi.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) search operation was carried out at several locations including the residential premises of Himanshu Kumar in Prem Nagar in Delhi and the residential premises of Bharat Kumar in Nalasopara, Mumbai, commercial premises of Tushar Books Publication Private Limited and Tulip Publications Private Limited in Jhandewalan area of ​​Delhi and ABN Buildtech Private Limited in Gurugram are also under scanner control.

The officer said that these companies are owned and controlled by accused Tushar Goel and his family members. The federal probe agency’s investigation revealed that Tushar visited Dubai and Thailand in June this year and met with his other associates to plan the movement and distribution of narcotic drugs.

“Accused Tushar Goel was in connivance with a Dubai-based mastermind who was also previously associated with the supply of cocaine and other narcotic and psychotropic substances,” the officer said.

As a result of the searches, key financial documents were discovered that detailed the financial activities of the accused, as well as information about the movable and immovable property of the accused and their family members.

According to the source, the drug syndicate in India is linked to FBI Most Wanted Dawood Ibrahim and Colombian drug lord Dario Antonio Usuga David, also known as “Mao”. It was also learned that Dario Antonio Usuga David had a long-standing friendship with the senior leader of the INC, while he financed the cultivation of marijuana in the north-eastern states of India and oversaw its transportation to various destinations. Through INC’s top leader Dario Antonio Usuga, David made significant investments in a number of businesses including real estate, shipping and the stock market, and also financed at least two major media houses in India. The INC’s top leader addresses David as “Papa ji”.
