Delhi: 3 held for importing drugs worth Rs 35 lakhs through darknet

The Delhi Police Crime Branch on Monday arrested three men with imported marijuana that was ordered online from the darknet. In the last four months, the accused allegedly ordered over 5-6 kgs of marijuana from the US to sell it to the drug peddlers in the Delhi-NCR region.

The accused were caught with a consignment of 1.8 kgs imported marijuana worth Rs 35 lakhs. Police said the accused were making payments through bitcoin so that the transactions couldn’t be linked to them. An ounce of the drugs was being sold at Rs 40,000-Rs 50,000 in India.
