Gujarat Police stopped the poison before it could reach its target. Zero tolerance. Zero compromise. #GujaratPolice,” he wrote on X.

In another development, the Gujarat Police announced the successful conclusion of ‘Operation Mule Hunt 1.0’ under their zero-tolerance policy against cyber criminals. “During this campaign, a massive network of cyber fraud was exposed, and legal action was taken against numerous perpetrators. To ensure the digital security of citizens, the Gujarat Police remains constantly vigilant, prepared, and committed. Your cooperation and awareness are equally important for a secure Gujarat,” the police stated on X.

Meanwhile, coordinated anti-narcotics operations carried out by the Cochin Unit of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) led to the seizure of substantial quantities of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, including methaqualone, methamphetamine, and hashish oil, intended for illicit distribution and trafficking.

The seizures took place at Kochi, Malappuram, and Thiruvananthapuram under Operation ‘Chakravyuh’, according to a release issued earlier. The Ministry of Finance stated that over 24 kilograms of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances were confiscated during these operations.
