WhatsApp Chitta Racket Exposed
The recent bust of a heroin trafficking operation known as the WhatsApp chitta racket has shocked the Shimla community. The police have apprehended Shahi Mahatma, also known as Shashi Negi, who had been illicitly trading adulterated heroin under the guise of an apple business for over five years.
Heroin Cartel Operations
According to Shimla SP Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi, Negi managed an extensive drug network, closely intertwined with Nigerian gangs operating in regions like New Delhi, Haryana, and Kashmir. This cunning operation utilized WhatsApp groups to generate demand and coordinate the complex logistics of drug delivery.
- The heroin was delivered without direct contact between suppliers and buyers.
- Each transaction involved multiple handoffs to maintain anonymity.
- The bust occurred just after a significant seizure of 465 grams of 'chitta'.
Implications of the Bust
With Negi and his associates now apprehended, law enforcement efforts aim to dismantle the broader network and prevent future drug trafficking under the cover of legitimate businesses.
