<h1>International Cocaine Syndicate Busted Using Encrypted Messaging and Food Delivery Tactics for Smuggling</h1> An international cocaine trafficking syndicate operating in Delhi was dismantled with the arrest of five foreign nationals. The group used encrypted digital communication, food delivery-style logistics, and a hierarchical distribution network to import, adulterate, and distribute cocaine. The syndicate smuggled pure cocaine into India via low-profile carriers, primarily women, and then diluted it for street sale. Operations were coordinated through Nigerian-based handlers using encrypted messaging and hawala-style money laundering involving Indian and Nigerian contacts. The network included multiple levels of operatives responsible for storage, redistribution, and street-level delivery, with strict operational silos to limit exposure. The syndicate also exported MDMA to several countries using fake identities and courier services. Despite the arrests, authorities believe additional members managing finances and logistics remain at large and are under investigation.
