Bhosari, Pune – In a significant operation, the Crime Branch's Unit 1 has successfully apprehended a suspect linked to drug trafficking in Bhosari. On Monday, during routine checks in light of Ganeshotsav festivities, officers intercepted Zaheer Qadir Khan, a 26-year-old resident of Jama Masjid, Bhagyodayan Nagar, Kondhwa Mool Ra, while he was allegedly en route to sell illegal substances.

According to police reports, Constable Mahadev Gajendra Jawale lodged a complaint at the Bhosari police station following the arrest. The operation commenced after receiving credible information regarding a suspect in the area. Officers were conducting checks along the route from Banachavadi to Chakrapani Colony when Khan approached them.

Upon searching him, they discovered a substantial quantity of drugs: 13 grams of mephedrone (MD) and 9 grams of charas, alongside two mobile phones. The total value of the recovered narcotics is estimated to be an alarming Rs 4,09,250. The police have initiated further investigations, with sub-inspectors actively probing the matter to uncover any additional leads and connections to larger drug networks.

This bust underscores the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat drug proliferation in the Pune Pimpri Chinchwad region, particularly during festive seasons when illicit activities often surge.
