Delhi: Rise in abuse of prescription drugs, opioids is Police’s new pain point

On June 19, around 8:45 PM, Delhi Police apprehended a 17-year-old in North East Delhi’s Nand Nagri, recovering 22.44 grams of smack from him. The quantity qualifies as commercial under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, under which he was booked. This incident was not an outlier. In fact, it reflects a growing trend in parts of the national capital, where a surge in drug abuse—particularly injectable pharmaceutical drugs—has become visible. While smack has long plagued the streets of Delhi, syringes and banned drug cocktails are now emerging as a newer, more dangerous pattern. During an earlier raid in the same district, police recovered six panni pipes, three injection vials, 12 tablets, and one syringe. Such recoveries have become common across North East Delhi and Shahdara. Often, every syringe found is accompanied by opioid tablets like Buprenorphine and injections of Pheniramine Maleate.
