- Salim Dola, a major international narcotics figure, was taken into custody by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad.

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has executed a major breakthrough in the battle against transnational narcotics trafficking by detaining international drug kingpin Salim Dola in connection with a monumental ₹438 crore mephedrone seizure. Law enforcement officials confirmed the high-profile apprehension, which marks a significant blow to cross-border syndicates operating within the region.
This high-stakes operation sheds light on the sophisticated logistics underpinning modern illicit drug manufacturing networks. Investigators noted that Dola functioned as a critical linchpin within the criminal enterprise, accused not only of funneling essential chemical inputs required to synthesize the synthetic drug but also of orchestrating the procurement and commercialization of the finished contraband.
According to reports by The Hindu, specialized anti-narcotics units have been monitoring complex financial and logistical trails that eventually led to Dola's identification and capture. Law enforcement agencies emphasized that dismantling the supply chain of precursor chemicals remains vital to disabling the operational capacity of large-scale drug cartels.
