Union Home Minister Amit Shah has accused the Congress of wanting to take India’s youth back into the “dark world of drugs” following a massive Delhi drug bust. The Delhi Police seized over 560 kgs of cocaine and 40 kgs of hydroponic marijuana worth approximately ₹5,620 crore from Mahipalpur. A 40-year-old man, Tushar Goyal, was arrested and identified as the mastermind of the drugs syndicate operating in the country.

Goyal’s alleged links to the Congress have sparked controversy, with investigators pointing to his social media photos with Congress leaders. However, the Indian Youth Congress claims Goyal was expelled from the organization in 2022 for anti-party activities. Shah emphasized the Modi government’s zero-tolerance policy for drugs, stating that the involvement of a prominent Congress leader in the seized drug consignment is “dangerous and shameful.”

Shah assured that the Modi government will prevent Congress leaders from using their influence to push youth into the drug trade, aiming to make India a “drug-free country” by dismantling the entire drug network. The Delhi drug bust has significant implications for the country’s ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and abuse.
