Delhi Police Uncover Unlawful Government Drug Racket, Seize 70 Lakh Worth of Stock, 3 Arrested The Delhi Police’s Crime Branch conducted a major operation in the Tis Hazaari area of Delhi, dismantling a well-organized network involved in the illegal trafficking of government-supplied medicines. During the raid on April 2, police arrested three individuals and seized approximately 70 lakh rupees worth of drugs, along with two vehicles used for transportation. The operation was led by Inspector Neeraj Sharma under the supervision of Additional Commissioner of Police Girish Kausik. The arrested individuals, identified as Neeraj Kumar (53) from Saharanpur, Shushil Kumar (47), and Laxman Mukhiya (48) from Delhi, were found transporting a large quantity of government medicines in a Mahindra Champion Tempo and a Boleeno car. The seized drugs, marked with the label “Government Supply, Not for Sale,” were confirmed to be part of an illegal distribution chain. According to police, Neeraj Kumar had been operating the racket for over a year and a half. He allegedly sourced medicines from within hospitals using his connections and distributed them through intermediaries to various cities. The investigation revealed that two additional suspects, Binesh Kumar (54), a pharmacist at Deyan Deyal Upadhyay Hospital, and Prakash Mehta (30), a contractual employee at the same hospital, were involved in manipulating hospital records to divert medicines from stock. Prakash Mehta played a critical role in the network, handling the logistics of drug distribution, storage, and even managing financial transactions via UPI.#delhi_police #neeraj_kumar #tis_hazaari #inspector_neeraj_sharma #additional_commissioner_girish_kausik
DDU Hospital Medicine Scam: Pharmacist and 4 Others Arrested in Government Drug Theft Case The Crime Branch has dismantled a well-organized network involved in the illegal diversion of government medicines from DDU Hospital, resulting in the arrest of five individuals, including a pharmacist and a hospital helper. The operation uncovered a systematic scheme where stolen drugs were sold to unauthorized dealers in Saharanpur, with the proceeds funneled through a network of intermediaries. The investigation revealed that the accused had been exploiting their positions within the hospital to siphon off essential medications, including antibiotics and injections critical for treating severe illnesses. These drugs were then transported in a Mahindra Champion tempo and a Baleno car, which were seized during the raid. The seized cargo included over 70 lakh rupees worth of medicines, including life-saving antivenom, erythropoietin injections, and other critical supplies. The arrested individuals, identified as Neeraj Kumar, Shushil Kumar, Lakshman Mukhiya, Binesh Kumar, and Prakash Mahato, operated as a coordinated team. Neeraj Kumar, the owner of a pharmacy in Saharanpur, acted as the primary recipient and distributor of the stolen drugs. Shushil Kumar, a taxi driver, facilitated the transportation of the drugs from Delhi to Saharanpur, while Lakshman Mukhiya, a tempo driver, transported the stolen stock to transit hubs. Binesh Kumar, a pharmacist at DDU Hospital, and Prakash Mahato, a contractual helper at the hospital’s pharmacy, were responsible for diverting medicines from the hospital’s stock and falsifying records to conceal the theft.#ddu_hospital #crime_branch #neeraj_kumar #shushil_kumar #lakshman_mukhiya
