In Rajasthan's Pakistan‑border districts, women are increasingly leading drug trafficking networks, a development that has surprised police and security agencies. Authorities have already made 86 arrests in a crackdown on the growing network.
Police reports indicate that women are now at the helm of drug trafficking operations in Rajasthan’s border districts adjacent to Pakistan. The shift in leadership has caught security agencies by surprise, prompting a swift response.
In a coordinated operation, authorities have detained 86 individuals linked to the drug network. The arrests were made across several border towns, targeting key figures believed to be orchestrating the smuggling routes.
The crackdown comes after intelligence suggested a rise in female participation in the drug trade, a trend that has implications for law‑enforcement strategies in the region. Officials say the operation will continue as more information surfaces.
The Rajasthan Police have urged the public to report any suspicious activity, emphasizing that the crackdown aims to dismantle the network and curb cross‑border drug smuggling.
