New Delhi, August 25: In a significant operation against drug trafficking, police in Greater Noida have arrested two foreign nationals, including a woman. The Surajpur police station and the intelligence unit conducted a joint operation based on confidential information and manual intelligence.
Authorities seized approximately 1.07 kilograms of white powder, suspected to be drugs, from the suspects. The estimated value of the recovered substance is around 2 million rupees. Additionally, police confiscated four mobile phones, two electronic scales, a black bag, and four plastic bags used for packaging.
The operation took place on August 25, 2026, at a house located in front of a stadium in the Bhuda village area of Surajpur.
