Overview
- Delhi Police, which disclosed the case Monday, arrested five suspects and filed charges under India’s narcotics law known as the NDPS Act.
- A tip-off led officers to a Moti Nagar courier warehouse on September 24–25, 2025, where a U.S.-bound parcel was found packed with banned medicines.
- Seizures included commercial quantities of Zolpidem, Tramadol, and Diazepam, with more than 3,500 Zolpidem tablets and over 2,500 Tramadol tablets recovered.
- Investigators say the group hid strips inside parcels labeled as cotton or lace, used forged KYC and fake sender details, and even inked out batch numbers to block the supply trail.
- Police link payments and coordination to WhatsApp chats and bank or UPI transfers tied to a firm run by Khan, and they say the case exposes how weak document checks in courier and pharma supply chains enable cross-border diversion.
