The confiscated cocaine is valued at approximately ₹5,000 crore in the international market. This operation is part of an extensive investigation by Delhi Police’s Special Cell, which previously conducted a raid on October 1, in south Delhi’s Mahipalpur, seizing 562 kg of cocaine and 40 kg of hydroponic marijuana. Further investigation on October 10 led to the recovery of an additional 208 kg of cocaine from a shop in Ramesh Nagar, Delhi.
