On Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the government's unwavering resolve to combat narcotics networks following a significant seizure by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai. The NCB confiscated 349 kg of high-grade cocaine valued at ₹1,745 crore (approximately $210 million USD), marking a substantial victory against an international drug cartel. Shah praised the NCB for its efforts, noting that the operation exemplified a 'bottom to top' approach, successfully tracing a smaller consignment back to a larger network. In a related development, the NCB coordinated with international agencies to extradite Mohammed Salim Dola, a 59-year-old drug trafficker wanted under an INTERPOL Red Notice. Dola, who had been evading Indian law enforcement, is accused of leading a transnational drug trafficking syndicate that operated across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. His criminal history includes involvement in significant narcotics seizures in Maharashtra and Gujarat. The Ministry of Home Affairs highlighted the importance of international cooperation in this operation, which underscores the ongoing efforts to dismantle drug trafficking networks.
