Indian anti-narcotics authorities have arrested four Nigerian nationals during separate operations targeting suspected drug trafficking networks, officials have confirmed.
According to local law enforcement, the arrests were made in coordinated raids carried out in different locations as part of an intensified campaign against the illegal drug trade.
Authorities said one of the suspects sustained injuries while allegedly attempting to flee from security operatives during the operation. The individual was later apprehended and taken into custody, where medical attention was provided.
Investigators said the operations led to the recovery of suspected narcotics and other items believed to be linked to drug-related activities. The seized substances have been sent for forensic examination, while further investigations are underway to determine the full extent of the network and identify any additional suspects.
Police have not yet released the identities of the four Nigerians, and no formal charges have been publicly announced at the time of filing this report.
Indian authorities have intensified anti-drug enforcement efforts in recent months, with security agencies carrying out a series of operations aimed at dismantling trafficking syndicates operating across the country.
The latest arrests come amid renewed efforts by law enforcement to curb the circulation of illicit drugs and strengthen cross-border cooperation in the fight against organised crime.
