Delhi News Live Updates: Cops seize 200 kg cocaine, second biggest drug bust this month

Delhi News Live Updates: Police say that the gang involved in the latest seizure is part of the same syndicate.

Delhi News Live Updates: Delhi Police on Thursday seized 200 kg of cocaine, marking this the second major drug bust this month. Police say that the gang involved in the latest seizure is part of the same syndicate. Last week, Delhi Police had seized over 560 kg of cocaine and 40 kg of marijuana valued at over Rs 5,000 crore in the international market. The drugs were being transported by an international module, and was described as the largest drug bust to date.

Setting the stage for a new tussle between the Aam Aadmi Party and the L-G office, the CMO on Wednesday claimed that Chief Minister Atishi was “forcibly vacated” from the residence at Civil Lines, which was previously occupied by Arvind Kejriwal. “Delhi CMs residence was forcibly vacated at the behest of the BJP as Lt Governor V K Saxena wants to allot it to a saffron party leader,” the CMO said. This comes two day after Atishi was asked to vacate the bungalow by officials from the Public Works Department (PWD)- a department under her own charge.

The Aam Aadmi Party claims that Atishi followed all formalities before moving in, but the PWD says that an official “handover” of the property from Kejriwal to the department is yet to take place. The house has now been sealed.
