Chemical factory busted in India, prison officer involved in drug supply – World

In India‘s Greater Noida city, the police have recovered a huge amount of 95 kg of illegal drugs.

According to Indian media reports, on October 25, the police busted a secret Methamphetamine Lab (chemical lab) in Noida, which was being run illegally by a businessman and a Mumbai-based chemist.

According to the report, the action was initiated following a tip-off about a lab manufacturing synthetic drugs for both local consumption and export. A joint team of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) of India and Special Cell of Delhi Police conducted a raid in Greater Noida and seized the factory.

According to the report, the raid was carried out after it was discovered that members of the Mexican drug cartel ‘Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion’ were also involved in the drug manufacturing process.

About 95 kilograms of methamphetamine in solid and liquid form were recovered during the operation, along with various chemicals and advanced manufacturing machinery.

A chemist from Mumbai was hired to oversee the drug manufacturing process. Meanwhile, a member of the Delhi-based cartel also checked the quality of the manufactured drugs.

All four suspects were produced in court on October 27 and the judge ordered them to be kept in police custody for three more days for further questioning. In another development, the police later arrested an associate of the businessman in Rajouri Garden.

**Interview with Dr.‌ Anjali Mehta, Drug Policy Expert**

**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining ⁢us today, Dr. Mehta. We recently learned about the police busting a significant meth lab in Greater Noida that‌ was linked to a Mexican drug cartel. Can you tell us what ‌implications this has for India’s fight against drug trafficking?

**Dr. Mehta:** Thank you for having me. This incident is indeed alarming as it highlights ⁢the growing sophistication and international connections of drug trafficking networks. The fact that a Mexican ⁢national was involved indicates how deeply entrenched these networks are and ‌how they⁢ are seeking to establish operations across borders.

**Interviewer:** The authorities recovered 95 kg of methamphetamine from the⁣ lab. What does such a quantity suggest about ​the scale of operations?

**Dr. ‍Mehta:** Recovering 95 kg of meth ⁤is substantial. It suggests‌ that this was not⁤ just a small-scale operation but likely a well-organized ⁢setup designed⁢ to produce and distribute large⁣ quantities ⁤of methamphetamine. This has serious implications for public health and safety.

**Interviewer:** What are the possible reasons for such an increase in meth production and trafficking in ⁤India?

**Dr. Mehta:** There⁣ are several ‍factors at play. Firstly, the demand for methamphetamine has been rising in various parts of India, particularly among youth. Additionally,‍ India’s geographical location makes ⁤it a strategic hub for ⁤drug trafficking routes coming from Southeast Asia. The relatively ​lower‍ law enforcement and regulatory⁣ oversight can attract international drug cartels to set up operations here.

**Interviewer:** How‌ can Indian ‌authorities ⁤strengthen their efforts against drug​ trafficking?

**Dr. ‌Mehta:** It’s crucial for Indian ⁢authorities to enhance international cooperation, particularly with countries that have experienced similar issues, like Mexico. Also, ‌improving technological surveillance, further training for law enforcement agencies, and increasing public awareness about the dangers of drug abuse are vital steps in the fight against these cartels.

**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Mehta, ⁤for your insights. It’s clear that there is a pressing need for coordinated‍ efforts ‍to tackle the drug problem in India.

**Dr. Mehta:** Thank you for having me. It’s essential ‌for us to remain vigilant ⁣and​ proactive to combat this ever-evolving challenge.
