Mumbai, March 21: In a significant crackdown on illegal drug trade, the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Mumbai Police has arrested a female drug trafficker. The accused has been identified as 23-year-old Nazia Mansoorali Syed, who was reportedly supplying narcotics on a large scale in areas including Bandra.
According to police, Nazia not only sold drugs herself but also facilitated the supply of heroin through other traffickers in various parts of the city. She was particularly active in Bandra East and surrounding areas, where her entire network operated. The case came to light after a video related to Nazia’s drug trafficking activities went viral on social media, prompting the police department to take immediate action.
The ANC’s Bandra unit tracked the accused through technical surveillance. Subsequently, a police team raided the slum area of Garib Nagar in Bandra East and arrested Nazia. During the search, approximately ₹4.8 lakh worth of heroin was seized from her possession. A case has been registered against the accused under the NDPS Act. Initial investigations suggest that Nazia may be linked to a larger drug syndicate.
Currently, the police are conducting an in-depth investigation into her supply chain, contacts, and the overall network. Officials state that this arrest could lead to the uncovering of several other prominent names connected to the active drug network in Mumbai. Additionally, efforts are underway to identify the source of the viral video and the individuals involved.
