Jaipur, Aug 26 — In a major crackdown on interstate drug smuggling, Sawai Madhopur Police has busted a suspected smack‑smuggling syndicate and arrested two alleged smugglers with 153.34 grams of illegal smack.
The seized contraband is estimated to be worth around Rs 3 crore in the international market.
Ranwajna Dungar Police carried out the operation under the direction of Sawai Madhopur Superintendent of Police Jyestha Maitreyi and the leadership of Station House Officer Shyamsundar, based on intelligence inputs from the Jaipur Range Cyber Cell.
Police said they had received information that a pickup vehicle travelling from Kota towards Kustla Toll Plaza on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway was allegedly carrying drugs. They also learnt that a Swift Dzire travelling from Lalsot would arrive to collect the consignment and that the exchange would take place on the expressway.
Acting on the tip‑off, the police team reached the location and found the Swift Dzire and pickup vehicle standing face‑to‑face. Police allegedly found Subhash Gurjar, a resident of the Khoyli Police Station area in Karauli and currently residing in Dausa, in the car.
In contrast, Ramniwas Meena, a resident of the Khedi Police Station area in Chhipabarod, Baran, was allegedly found in the pickup.
A search of the vehicles and the accused, conducted as per procedure, led to the recovery of 153.34 grams of smack wrapped in khaki‑coloured tape from Gurjar’s car. During preliminary interrogation, Gurjar allegedly told police that he had received the smack from Meena.
Police said both accused disclosed that they had been involved in smuggling smack for a considerable period and supplying it in areas including Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, Dausa, Jaipur and the NCR. Buyers would further sell the drug in smaller quantities, generating substantial profits.
Police are continuing to interrogate the two accused and gathering information about other alleged members of the network, including suppliers and buyers. Personnel from Ranwajna Dungar Police Station, DST Sawai Madhopur and the Jaipur Range Cyber Cell played a key role in the operation. ASI Ratandeep and Head Constables Rakesh, Roshan and Jitendra Kumar were among those involved.
