The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), led by Deputy Director General Gyaneshwar Singh, has made a significant breakthrough in a global drug trafficking case with the arrest of Jaffer Sadiq, identified as the kingpin of a network spanning India, Australia, and New Zealand. Sadiq, who also operated under the guise of Deputy head of the NRI Wing of Chennai West and is a Tamil film producer, was apprehended by the NCB's Operation Branch. This case has drawn attention due to its connections beyond the criminal world, extending into political and entertainment circles. Notably, Sadiq's arrest led to the detention of a former DMK functionary, sparking controversy and political backlash. The BJP has criticized the DMK government, with accusations flying regarding the extent of political involvement in the drug trade. Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai highlighted Sadiq's links to the film and hotel industries, while DMK leader Saravanan defended the party, suggesting the allegations were politically motivated. The case has also seen the involvement of the Delhi Police and the NCB in a joint operation that led to Sadiq's capture in a Rs 2,000 crore drug smuggling case.
