The arrested accused are residents of Delhi and Sonipat in Haryana.

Deputy Director General (NR) Neeraj Kumar Gupta said this seizure was a result of a concerted effort made by the NCB on the leads developed during a previous seizure.

"The NCB was finally able to reach the source of the contraband, and 82.53 kg of high-grade cocaine was recovered from Janakpuri and Nangloi area of Delhi on November 14," the officer said.

In this case, the initial recovery, from a courier shop in Delhi, was from a parcel that was destined for Australia. The NCB backtracked the supply despite "cut-offs" to the bulk quantity, which was concealed at Janakpuri and Nangloi.
