NCB busts darknet drug network; over 2,000 LSD blots and MDMA seized nationwide

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has successfully dismantled a significant darknet drug network that has been operational since January 2025. The operation led to the seizure of over 2,000 LSD blots and various quantities of MDMA across multiple locations in India. Authorities revealed that the network was highly rated on darknet forums, earning a four-star reputation, indicating its extensive reach and the demand for its illicit products. This operation highlights the increasing challenge of combating drug trafficking through online platforms, which have become a prevalent method for distributing illegal substances. The NCB's ongoing efforts aim to enhance surveillance and enforcement measures against such networks, as they pose serious public health risks and contribute to the nation's drug abuse crisis. The agency has urged the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities related to drug trafficking.
