Delhi Police has busted an inter-state narcotics syndicate, arresting a key supplier from Odisha, an official said on Sunday.

The accused, Aakash Kumar Digal, 28, a resident of Odisha’s Kandhamal district, was apprehended after tracking his movements across forested areas and multiple locations in the state, he said.

The police brought him to Delhi on March 28 and formally arrested him in connection with a case registered at Kalyanpuri police station, he added.

Police said the breakthrough came during the investigation of an earlier case in which the police had arrested two alleged drug suppliers — Akbar and Firoz Khan from Ghaziabad — on March 12 with over 21.7 kg of cannabis and 46 grams of smack.

“During interrogation, Khan disclosed that the contraband was sourced from Digal,” police said, adding that subsequently, he was nabbed.
