A week on, all in Gurgaon detention centres freed, except 10 ‘illegals'
Gurgaon: A week after a drive to identify Bangladeshis and Rohingya living illegally in the city began, leading to around 250 people being rounded up at four holding centres, everyone – barring 10 foreigners who will be deported – has been freed. After the verification exercise was complete, the last batches of detainees were sent home on Friday, though the four community centres remain notified as holding centres. The drive generated panic among migrant families from West Bengal and Assam, many of whom have left the city, scared of detentions and questions. The police verification drive had initially rounded up around 500 people. Around 50% of them were sent to the holding centres for checks that involved background verification from police in home districts. TOI had reported in its July 25 edition that during these checks, 10 of those detained had been found to be Bangladeshi citizens who had made Indian IDs like Aadhaar and voter cards made. You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon At the Sector 40 community centre, one of the four detention facilities, only one remained on Friday – one of the 10 men identified as a Bangladeshi national. "He was detained from Sector 53 after arriving from Delhi. He couldn't provide proof of Indian citizenship. So, we have initiated his deportation process," said a police officer familiar with the case. At the community centre in Badshapur, which previously held over 100 people, all detainees were freed after they provided proof of their Indian citizenship and the documents were vetted. Some Bangladeshi nationals are still housed here. Sandeep Kumar, spokesperson for the police, said, "There is zero detention at all four centres now. All migrants were released after verification of their documents." But even as the drive has managed to identify illegals, it has left a considerable section of the Bengali-speaking migrant population shaken. Many of those released described their time in detention as "the most traumatic days" of their lives. They also expressed disappointment over the lack of support from political parties in their home states — particularly Trinamool Congress — despite public statements of outrage from the party and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee. They said no political leader or any organisation from their home states had visited them despite the show of support on social media. At an event in Kolkata on Thursday, Mamata accused the BJP-led Centre of targeting the Bengali language and its people. "A kind of linguistic terrorism has been declared against the Bengali language, the fifth most spoken in the world. Around 30 crore people speak Bengali, but Bengali speakers are being sent to jail. I cannot accept this, and I believe you cannot either. There should be zero tolerance for people being detained just for speaking Bengali. We must protect this land," she said. Those from Assam, too, rued the lack of home support. Tara Miya, a labour contractor from Assam staying in Baliawas, said most of his workforce had gone back home. "Sixteen of my men were detained for about six days, first in a police station and then at the detention centre in Sector 40. No politician from Assam offered any help. The cops released all my men after verification. Of the 400 migrants who stay in Baliawas, only about 100 are here. The rest have left for home," he added. Local labour organisations, however, rallied behind the detainees, condemning what they described as harassment. The state secretary of the Democratic Women's Committee, Usha Saroha, along with other labour union functionaries, pointed out that many affected workers have been long-term residents of the city, working in industries, at construction sites, and as domestic staff. CITU general secretary Jaibhagwan said, "Bengali-speaking minorities are being specifically targeted. Many citizens are being mistreated under the pretext of verification." A senior police officer said the deportation process for the 10 Bangladeshi nationals is under way and the identification drive is not over. "The drive against illegals will continue in the coming days and these four designated holding centres will also operate for now. In case we find any suspect, they will be housed here," the officer added.

Smuggled from Nigeria, ‘cooked' in Delhi, delivered at doorstep: Inside Rs 100-cr cocaine and MDMA racket
As soon as the call centre in Nigeria received a phone call from India, the operator noted down the request — how many kilograms of cocaine and MDMA were needed. Kallis, the call centre owner, would then send women to Delhi with packets of pure-grade narcotics taped to their bodies. From the Delhi airport, the Indian handlers of Kallis – of African origin – would collect the packets, process them in 'kitchens' at South Delhi's Chattarpur, and hand them over to 'delivery agents', also Africans. The agents would then prepare two batches of drugs, one to be transported to Australia and New Zealand, and the other for doorstep delivery in Delhi. This was how, the police said, an intercontinental drug smuggling network operated, where orders were placed to Nigerian call centres on behalf of Indian customers for street-grade cocaine and MDMA. On Friday, the Delhi Police Crime Branch said it has now dismantled the operation, by seizing drugs worth over Rs 100 crore and arresting five Nigerian nationals, who were allegedly working for cross-continental drug kingpin Callistus alias Kallis. The police identified the accused as Kameni Philipp, Adore, Victor, Kelechi Chikwe, and a person known as 'Tall Guy'. The police sniffed out the trail on June 13 when a constable tracked a package to a godown in Moti Nagar. The package, containing more than 800 grams of cocaine, was wrapped among packed suits. 'The parcel led us to Cameroonian national Kameni Philipp (44) in Rajpura. We recovered 2,012 grams of cocaine from his possession,' Additional CP (Crime) Mangesh Kashyap said. The police said that Phillip, who stays in Delhi with his wife and three children, had come to India in 2017 on a Nigerian passport. He returned to Cameroon in 2020 and came back again in March 2025 on a medical visa on the instructions of Kallis, his uncle. Police said Phillip was sent to Delhi to be Kallis' eyes and ears as his uncle didn't trust his India operator – a Nigerian named Adore (53). 'His (Phillip's) associate, Victor, supplied MDMA, which they packaged into parcels bound for New Zealand and Australia. Later, Kallis provided him with pure Colombian cocaine bricks,' said Additional CP Kashyap. According to police, Phillip distributed the cocaine in Delhi via Victor by using delivery boys — Kelechi Chikwe and 'Tall Guy'. 'The syndicate adopted a food delivery app-style model, dispatching deliveries based on live customer locations. Delivery agents followed a uniform dress code – checked shirts and black helmets – to maintain consistency,' Kashyap added. The money collected from the delivery agents was given to Phillip, who would facilitate a hawala-like network to rewire the money back to Kallis using a Nigerian shell company, said police. Kallis also allegedly provided money exchange services to Indians in Nigeria who wished to send cash home. 'He would collect the desired amount in Naira from Indian clients, and direct Phillip to facilitate the payment in rupees – made from the drug trade – to the relatives of the client in India, cleaning his drug money in the process… The syndicate charged a commission of 3-5% on each such transaction. In the last six months alone, over 85 crore Naira was used as part of these illicit cross-border transactions,' Kashyap said. Police said Adore was arrested from his Chattarpur kitchen with 146 grams of MDMA, 156 grams of cocaine and 1,028 grams of ganja. He has allegedly admitted to distributing 7 kg of cocaine and identified his associate Victor, a street-level distributor operating in Vasant Kunj. The police said that Victor admitted that Philip received 18 kg of pure cocaine from Kallis for distribution in India.

Cops Bust Int'l Drug Cartel Run On Delivery App Model
New Delhi: Blowing the lid off a major drug ring active in Delhi-NCR's party circuits, Delhi Police crime branch seized cocaine, MDMA and OG ganja worth over Rs 100 crore, and arrested five foreign nationals. The syndicate was led by notorious Nigerian kingpin Callistus and had a highly organised structure, which utilised encrypted WhatsApp channels, forged documents and Indian-based foreign nationals for last-mile drug deliveries. Special commissioner (crime) Devesh Shrivastava said that the syndicate had a presence in Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the UK. "They operated using a call centre model via WhatsApp and facilitated food delivery app-style deliveries using live locations through foot soldiers," Shrivastava added. Police seized a sedan and Rs 2 lakh in cash, besides mobiles, passports, 2,700 grams of Colombian cocaine, 1,000 grams of MDMA and over 1 kg of OG ganja. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi The operation began with a raid at a courier facility in west Delhi's Moti Nagar, where 895 grams of MDMA, concealed among samples of Indian suits and ladies' shoes packaging, was intercepted. "The parcel's trail was followed through puzzles of fake addresses and different IDs and finally led to Cameroonian national Kameni Philipp, the cartel's India operations head. We seized cocaine in its purest form, which was moulded into compressed bricks with waterproof packaging. His interrogation blew open the cartel's core structure—revealing a tight-knit operation directly linked to Callistus, a Nigerian national controlling the global supply chain from West Africa," said Mangesh Kashyap, additional commissioner (crime). The investigation by ACP Bhagwati Prasad's team led to the arrest of three Nigerian nationals identified as Godwin John, Kelechi Chikwe and Ibe Chinedu Austin, besides Koulaie Philippe, alias Tall Guy, from Cote d'Ivoire. According to Kashyap, the syndicate's modus operandi included smuggling pure cocaine into India using female Indian nationals as carriers, exploiting their lower risk profile at international borders. Upon entry into India, the consignment was received by Philipp, who passed them on to level-A distributors like Godwin John. John chemically adulterated the pure cocaine in a 1:4 ratio using neutral cutting agents, transforming 1 kg of pure cocaine into approximately 5 kg of street-grade cocaine. The adulterated product was then distributed to level-B operatives such as Ibe, alias Victor, who released the stock on a weekly basis to level-C peddlers who conducted final deliveries to end users. Weekly payments were collected from these lower-level operatives and passed up the hierarchy. "Handlers in Nigeria maintained centralised customer databases, ensuring that if a foot soldier was arrested, he could be quickly replaced without loss of customer data or disruption to operations," the additional CP said. The investigation also unravelled a major money laundering operation. According to police, the collected drug proceeds in India were laundered via an informal currency exchange network. "Indians residing in Nigeria who wished to send money to India paid the equivalent amount in Naira to the syndicate. Their relatives in India received the corresponding sum in Indian Rupees, thus bypassing formal banking channels," said DCP Harsh Indora.
