Pakistani Kingpin Under Scanner – Intelligence Bureau & Narcotics Team Dig Deeper into Syndicate Links
CHHATTISGARH / RAIPUR I Economy India: Police has busted a massive International Drug Trafficking Network with direct links to Pakistan. The sensational case has now drawn the attention of central agencies, with the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) stepping in to conduct a deeper probe.
The main accused Luvjeet Singh, along with his associates Suvit Srivastava and Saif Cheela, are under interrogation, and the court has extended their police remand till August 11 to unravel the entire supply chain.
How the Operation Began
Police received a tip-off that heroin was being smuggled from Pakistan to Raipur via Punjab. Acting on this intel, IG Amresh Mishra of Raipur Range and SSP Dr. Lal Umed Singh formed a special investigation team.
Under the leadership of Crime Branch ASP Sandeep Mittal, the team kept a close watch on the suspects for several days. On August 3, they raided a house in Kamal Vihar Sector-4 and arrested three key operatives – Luvjeet Singh, Suvit Srivastava, and Ashwan Chandravanshi.
The Big Seizure on August 4
The very next day, during a detailed search of the house, police recovered 412 grams of heroin worth nearly ₹1 crore in the international market. Documents, mobile data, and other materials found during the raid revealed the entire supply network. Based on these leads, police arrested six more traffickers from different locations in Raipur and Punjab.
High-Tech Trafficking Methods
The investigation revealed that the network operated in a highly sophisticated and tech-savvy manner:
- They used foreign mobile numbers and internet calling to avoid location tracking.
- Delivery points and meeting locations were shared via live location and video sharing.
- Payments were routed through mule accounts, making money trails extremely difficult to trace.
Key Members of the Network
- Luvjeet Singh alias Bunty – Resident of Gurdaspur, Punjab; the mastermind who sourced heroin directly from Pakistan.
- Suvit Srivastava – Local head of the Raipur network; turned the Kamal Vihar house into a supply hub.
- Ashwan Chandravanshi – Assisted in storing and managing stock.
- Other members – Lakshya Parifal Raghav alias Love, Aniket Maladhare, Manoj Seth, Mukesh Singh, Junaid Khan alias Saif Cheela, Rajvinder Singh alias Raju.
Seized Items & Legal Action
From the accused, police recovered:
- 412.87 grams of heroin
- Multiple mobile phones
- Creta car (CG 04 QH 7491)
- Weighing machine
- Drug consumption paraphernalia
- ATM cards, chequebooks, and other critical evidence
A case has been registered under Sections 21(C) and 29 of the NDPS Act. Initial investigations have revealed transactions worth crores of rupees and confirmed the network’s international links.
International Connections & Ongoing Probe
Police confirmed that Luvjeet Singh procured heroin directly from Pakistan and distributed it across India through his network. The entire operation was run via virtual international numbers to conceal locations and evade tracking.
Further arrests are expected as more names emerge during interrogation.
A Major Success for Chhattisgarh Police
This operation is being hailed as a major achievement for Chhattisgarh Police. The Director General of Police has congratulated IG Amresh Mishra, SSP Dr. Lal Umed Singh, ASP Sandeep Mittal, and the entire team, recommending them for commendation and rewards.
The case is making headlines nationally due to its direct Pakistan connection and the sheer scale of the drug trafficking racket exposed.
If you want, I can now make this as a visually appealing news-style post with strong headlines and section breaks so it works perfectly for both social media and news portals. That would make it eye-catching while keeping all the detailed content.
