Two cases under the NDPS Act were already registered against him at the Crime Branch police station, and in both cases, he was declared a fugitive/proclaimed offender by the court. During interrogation by the Crime Branch team, Tushar confessed to being an active member of an organized gang that supplies high-purity heroin to Delhi-NCR via the Nepalese-Afghanistan route.
"The accused's entire family is involved in the drug trade. To conceal his crimes, he had opened a shop in Mahavir Enclave under the guise of a boutique," said police.
The first case against him was registered in 2016 for attempt to murder. Subsequently, in 2022, cases of threatening and assault were filed. An FIR was also filed with the Crime Branch in 2024.
Indora stated Tushar's arrest has broken the backbone of a major interstate drug network operating in Delhi-NCR. "The campaign to make the capital drug-free has been intensified by targeting local carriers and major suppliers. The accused will be produced in court and police remand will be obtained in both NDPS cases," he said.
