According to the police, the Chandigarh Crime Branch, led by Inspector Ashok Kumar, received information on March 30 that three Africans, known for supplying drugs in Chandigarh, were arriving with a significant quantity of narcotics. It was discovered that the suspects had entered India on medical and business visas for short stays but had become involved in illicit drug trafficking and overstayed illegally after their visas expired.

Further investigation by the police revealed that the suspects procured the contraband from their home country at lower prices and then sold them at inflated rates in discos, pubs, and bars in the Tricity area.

The police stated that the investigation into the case was ongoing, and authorities were hopeful of apprehending additional members of the drug syndicate.
