4.10 Crore Smack Case: Saharanpur Police Detain Key Accused
Saharanpur Police detain Amit under PIT-NDPS Act following a massive 4.10 crore smack seizure as part of Operation Savera.
In a major blow to the narcotics trade in Uttar Pradesh, the Saharanpur Police have detained a key co-accused in connection with a massive smack seizure valued at approximately 4.10 crore rupees in the international market. The individual, identified as Amit (also known as Anit), has been taken into custody under the stringent PIT-NDPS Act and shifted to the Saharanpur District Jail.
Operation Savera: A Crackdown on Drugs
This action is part of 'Operation Savera', a dedicated campaign launched by the Saharanpur Police to dismantle illegal drug networks and curb the flow of contraband. The operation is being carried out under the strict directives of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Saharanpur Range, aligning with the Uttar Pradesh government's 'zero tolerance' policy toward drug trafficking and illicit trade.
The Initial Bust
The investigation traces back to August 16, 2026, when the Behat police station executed a successful raid. During this operation, they arrested a man named Talib, son of Salim, a resident of Asgarpur village in Mirzapur. Talib was found in possession of 804 grams of smack.
The sheer scale of the seizure sent shockwaves through the local administration, as the international market value of the drugs was estimated at a staggering 4.10 crore rupees. Following the arrest, Case Number 335/2026 was registered at the Behat Police Station under sections 8/21/60(3) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
A History of Crime
The detention of Amit, a resident of Buheda village in Sarsawa, comes after police scrutinized his criminal background. Records reveal that Amit is no stranger to the law; he has a documented history of involvement in narcotics trafficking with multiple cases registered against him under the NDPS Act in 2019, 2022, 2025, and 2026.
Commitment to a Drug-Free Society
Authorities have emphasized that this is only the beginning of a larger effort to sanitize the region. The primary goal of the ongoing campaign is to protect the youth from the devastating effects of substance abuse and to ensure a secure social environment for all citizens.
The Saharanpur Police have stated that stringent legal actions will continue to be enforced against anyone involved in the smuggling and distribution of banned substances to effectively eliminate the drug menace from the area.
