In a significant breakthrough against narcotics trafficking, the Mumbai Police has uncovered a major drug network following the seizure of approximately 5,000 ecstasy tablets worth an estimated ₹6 crore from a luxury residence in Titwala, near Kalyan in Maharashtra.
A woman identified as A. Paul has been arrested in connection with the case. Investigators allege that she was a key figure in the network, having transitioned from working as a bar dancer to becoming an active drug supplier.
High-Value Seizure in Titwala
The operation was carried out as part of an intensified crackdown on narcotics following the high-profile Nesco drugs party case. Acting on intelligence inputs, police conducted a raid at a high-end residential complex in Titwala, where they recovered a large quantity of ecstasy pills.
Officials noted that both the volume and quality of the seized drugs were unusually high, raising suspicions of links to an international trafficking network.
Investigation Traces Network from Sakinaka
The case originated with a separate raid in Sakinaka, where police initially arrested an आरोपी, Irfan Ansari, in possession of 200 ecstasy pills. During interrogation, Ansari revealed the name of another व्यक्ति, Sufiyan, believed to be a crucial link in the distribution chain.
Subsequent investigation, including technical surveillance and location tracking, led authorities to A. Paul’s residence in Titwala.
Under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner of Police Navnath Dhawale, the investigative team gathered evidence over three days before conducting a late-night raid on Saturday, resulting in the major seizure.
Sophisticated Operation and International Links Suspected
Police recovered five mobile phones and multiple SIM cards from the आरोपी, indicating the use of multiple communication channels to evade detection. Data from these devices is currently being analysed to identify other members of the network and potential suppliers.
The seized ecstasy tablets bore distinctive markings such as “Mercedes” and “Dollar,” similar to those found in earlier drug seizures, further strengthening suspicions of an international supply chain.
आरोपी’s Background Under Scrutiny
Investigators revealed that the आरोपी has a complex background, having previously worked in dance bars before allegedly entering the narcotics trade. She is reported to have had two marriages, with one of her former spouses having a criminal history.
Authorities are now examining her past associations and contacts to trace the wider network.
Further Arrests Likely
According to officials, the investigation remains ongoing, with the Anti Narcotics Cell intensifying efforts to dismantle the entire syndicate. More arrests are expected as the probe progresses.
Police believe the case underscores the deep-rooted presence of organised drug networks operating in and around Mumbai. The latest action is being viewed as a significant success in the city’s ongoing fight against narcotics trafficking.
