MBBS Doctor Among 9 Arrested in International Drug Trafficking Racket
Doctor’s Role Uncovered in Smuggling Operation
Jaipur: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested an MBBS doctor along with eight other individuals for their alleged involvement in a sophisticated smuggling network that spanned across five states, including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.
In a recent post on X, autopsy surgeon Yamraj highlighted a disturbing trend-highly educated individuals, including an engineer, an MBA graduate, and an MBBS doctor—were allegedly involved in an international drug trafficking network. They are accused of facilitating the trafficking and distribution of narcotics, including cocaine, MDMA, methamphetamine, methaqualone, and ecstasy.
According to the NCB, drugs shipped from France and Germany were entering India through international postal services, with several parcels routed via Jaipur’s Foreign Post Office, according to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). In a coordinated operation, the Rajasthan unit of the NCB arrested nine smugglers across five states.
Although the identities of the accused have not been disclosed, NCB officials revealed that Jaipur is increasingly being used as a ‘drug distribution hub.’ The smuggled cocaine is reportedly transported from Jaipur to Mumbai through Udaipur, and investigators have also indicated possible links between the network and individuals in Bollywood.

During the operation, 324.65 grams of cocaine were recovered along with large quantities of other synthetic narcotics. Two key parcels—containing 111 grams of ecstasy tablets, 101 grams of methaqualone, and 150 grams of MDMA—had arrived in Jaipur, confirming the city’s emerging status as a distribution hub for international narcotics.
Officials revealed that the trafficking ring operated via the dark net, utilizing cryptocurrency and encrypted communications. Jaipur, with its logistical connectivity and relatively lower law enforcement pressure, was being used as a central point to receive and redirect shipments to major cities, including Mumbai.
