In a significant blow to drug trafficking operations in the state capital, Ranchi Police conducted a successful raid resulting in the apprehension of three alleged drug peddlers. The operation, carried out by a specialized police team, led to the recovery of 28.59 grams of brown sugar – a substance known for its addictive properties and destructive impact on communities.
The arrested individuals have been identified as active participants in the local drug trade network. Police officials revealed that the suspects were caught red-handed during a carefully planned operation based on intelligence inputs about drug distribution activities in the area.
The seized contraband, with an estimated street value running into several thousand rupees, represents a substantial quantity that could have potentially reached numerous addicts across the city. The successful interception prevented this dangerous substance from circulating in Ranchi's neighborhoods.
Authorities have confirmed that the accused will face charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, which carries severe penalties including lengthy imprisonment for those convicted of drug trafficking offenses.
This operation forms part of Jharkhand Police's ongoing campaign against the narcotics trade, demonstrating their commitment to creating drug-free communities. Police officials have urged citizens to continue providing tip-offs about suspicious activities, emphasizing that public cooperation remains crucial in the fight against substance abuse.
