Major Drug Bust in Ajmer Unveils Sophisticated Smuggling Operation

In a significant crackdown, the Ajmer District Special Police Team (DST) has exposed a large-scale poppy husk (Doda Post) smuggling operation. The team seized over 10 quintals of the illicit substance, cleverly hidden under the guise of Ayurvedic medicines, with an estimated market value of approximately ₹1.51 crore.

This major action was carried out under the direct supervision and guidance of District Superintendent of Police, Harsh Vardhan. It involved a joint effort by the District Special Team and personnel from the Gegal police station, culminating in a dramatic arrest at Kayad Chauraha.

Tactical Roadblock Leads to Apprehension

Police had set up a strategic roadblock at Kayad Chauraha, acting on specific intelligence. Upon spotting the police presence, the driver of a pickup truck attempted to flee, even abandoning the vehicle and trying to escape on foot. However, law enforcement officials quickly apprehended the suspect.

A thorough search of the pickup revealed a sophisticated concealment method. The poppy husk was found hidden beneath layers of lemon and orange peels, further disguised by being packed into sacks labeled as Ayurvedic medicines. This elaborate setup aimed to evade detection during transit.

Accused Identified, Investigation Underway

The arrested individual has been identified as Amar Singh Mogia, a resident of Neemuch. He is currently in custody, and the Pushkar police are conducting further investigations into the network behind this smuggling operation.

The successful operation saw crucial contributions from several key members of the District Special Police Team. DST In-charge Shankar Singh Rawat, Head Constable Mahipal Singh Rathore, Ratan Singh, and Constable Mukesh Tandi played vital roles in bringing this significant bust to fruition.
