Rajasthan: ‘White poison’ syndicate busted in Jodhpur

Jaipur, April 4 In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) and Jodhpur Police dismantled another clandestine drug manufacturing unit in the city, marking the second major strike within 48 hours.

The joint operation led to the recovery of MD drugs, narcotic tablets, and high-grade chemical precursors worth over Rs 2 crore from a flat in the posh Ashapurna Platinum residential society.

The raid was carried out under the direction of ADG Dinesh M.N., with teams deployed under SP Gyanchand Yadav and Additional SP Narottam Verma. Crucial intelligence inputs from ASI Rakesh Jakhar and Constable Sumer Singh enabled police to identify and raid the flat, uncovering a fully functional drug manufacturing setup.

The operation followed the April 2 arrest of Ganpatram Bishnoi, from whose residence in the Banar area police had earlier seized over 3 kg of MD and 55 kg of raw chemicals.

During interrogation, Ganpatram revealed that he was acting on behalf of the main accused Bharat Bishnoi, alias Asuram or Lucky, who was allegedly operating the racket from a rented flat in Ashapurna Platinum under a concealed identity.

Acting on the disclosure, police forced entry into Flat No. A-803, where they discovered a concealed stash inside a wardrobe.

A bag labelled “UMMUL” contained narcotics and chemical materials in the flat, which was functioning as a mini drug manufacturing unit.

Teams from the FSL and NCB confirmed the presence of highly potent substances, including 366 grams of pure MD (Mephedrone) and 1.178 kg of high-grade chemical precursors, which are more potent than manufactured MD.

Over 2,000 narcotic tablets weighing 3.663 kg, along with other equipment and documents, were seized. Police also recovered electronic weighing machines, packaging materials, tape, and documents, including Aadhaar cards linked to the accused.

During questioning, Ganpatram admitted he was drawn into the illegal trade due to financial distress and mounting debt.

He alleged that Bharat Bishnoi lured him with promises of financial relief. While Ganpatram is in custody, the prime accused Bharat Bishnoi remains absconding.

Police teams are conducting continuous raids to trace and arrest him.

Officials said the operation prevented over 5 kg of narcotics from entering the market and dealt a significant blow to an organised drug network operating in Jodhpur.

Investigations are ongoing to uncover the full extent of the syndicate.
