The operation centered around a Mahipalpur godown, seizing 562 kilograms of cocaine. A Dubai-based kingpin orchestrated the transactions, communicating through currency codes.

Delhi Police have uncovered a sophisticated method used by drug buyers involving images of Indian currency notes as codes to authenticate themselves before receiving cocaine consignments, part of a Rs 7,000-crore cocaine seizure.

The operation revealed that Tushar Goel's godown in Mahipalpur was the primary transit hub for distributing drugs nationally, where 562 kilograms of cocaine was seized.

Further inquiries led to the apprehension of several individuals, including an Indian-origin UK resident. The transactions were reportedly orchestrated by a Dubai-based kingpin who facilitated payments through cryptocurrency.
