New Delhi, Police have arrested three Nigeria nationals and a Delhi resident for alleged drug trafficking and recovered 417 grams of MDMA and 105 grams of cocaine, estimated to be worth ₹ 1.5 crore in total, an official said on Thursday.
Police also cited previous NDPS cases involving the three foreign nationals in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi and Haryana. Police recovered another 61 grams of MDMA from his possession. A case was registered in this connection at Crime Branch police station under provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, and Section 23 of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, was subsequently added after the three foreigners failed to produce valid documents authorising their stay in India.
The accused were allegedly procuring, storing and supplying narcotic substances through a network of associates, and involved in wholesale and retail distribution, police said. “On September 25, a police team received information that Peter was supplying cocaine and MDMA across Delhi-NCR and would deliver narcotics near Shukar Bazar Road in Chander Vihar,” the officer said. The officer said during interrogation, Peter and Ernest allegedly disclosed their links with Singh, following which he was arrested from his residence in Nilothi. Singh allegedly came into contact with them while procuring drugs for personal consumption and later began supplying them to other users for profit, police said.
Further investigation is underway to identify other persons linked with the alleged racket.
