The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has busted the country’s largest darknet-based Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) smuggling syndicate named “Zambada cartel” with the arrest of three accused persons. This is the second such detection by the agency in the recent past.
NCB Deputy Director-General Gyaneshwar Singh on Tuesday said the cartel had planned to set up its first LSD outlet in India with a minimum stock of 1 lakh LSD blots, with international to-and-fro facilities.
The agency has found that the vendors and buyers were in contact with each other through social media sites. The drugs were being supplied using couriers and fake addresses or mobile numbers and payments were received and made through cryptocurrencies and their conversion.
