Four students of premier Delhi- NCR-based institutions–the DU, JNU and Amity University–have been arrested by the NCB as part of a major New Year eve crackdown against drugs rackets.
At the end of a three-day long operation that started on December 28, said it has also seized 1.14 kg of charas (cannabis) and three LSD (Lysergic acid Diethylamide) blot papers that were supposed to be supplied to the party circuit of students in and around the DU’s North Campus and other similar locations for New Year celebrations.
The Delhi Zonal unit of the NCB identified the four, arrested under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS), as students of reputed academic institutions. Two are from the Hindu College and one student each from the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and the Amity University.
Aniruddh Mathur (22), Tenzin Phunchog (23) and Sam Mallick (21) are all abusers of charas and used to get it from Gaurav Kumar (22).
Kumar, a BA Economics (Hons) student of the Hindu College, was named as the kingpin of the racket by the NCB, which added that the charas was being allegedly sourced by these students from Himachal Pradesh.
The NCB claimed that the students were both addicts and suppliers of these drugs.
Calling the operation as one of the major crackdowns against drugs in Delhi colleges in the recent past, NCB Director General Rina Mitra told that the agency is committed to checking the abuse of narcotics among students as part of its larger mandate to eradicate the menace.
