Jaipur, Oct. 10 -- Rajasthan's Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) arrested 100 suspects in drug trafficking cases over a year, including 15 with more than 10 criminal cases each, in operations spanning Jammu and Kashmir to Kerala, according to police data. Rewards announced for their capture totalled Rs.27 lakh. Inspector General of Police, ANTF, Vikas Kumar said 69 drug kingpins were arrested in Rajasthan, while teams pursued wanted accused across several states and Union territories. Those arrested included a former National Security Guard (NSG) commando accused of organising marijuana supplies, an alleged MD drug network operator who posed as a chemistry teacher, and a suspected poppy husk trafficker who operated behind a furniture business. Bajrang Singh, a former NSG commando from Sikar's Karanga village, allegedly organised large-scale marijuana supplies from Telangana and Odisha to Rajasthan. After serving in the Border Security Force and the NSG, including deployment during the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, Singh retired in 2021 and entered local politics. Police said he later built a supply network using acquaintances in Odisha and Telangana. He was arrested near Hyderabad in 2023 in a case involving two quintals of marijuana. Investigators eventually traced him through information about his cook and apprehended him in Churu in October last year. Singh carried a Rs.25,000 reward and was arrested under Operation Ganjaneya. Ramesh Kumar, a 31-year-old Barmer resident carrying a Rs.1 lakh reward, had more than three dozen criminal cases registered against him across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana and Karnataka, police said. He allegedly learnt a cheaper method of manufacturing MD drugs from an accused known as Dr Birju while in a Maharashtra jail in 2021-22. Police alleged Kumar moved from sourcing MD drugs from Maharashtra to establishing manufacturing units before settling in West Bengal, where he presented himself as a chemistry teacher and chemicals trader. ANTF personnel tracked him through information obtained from his travel agent and arrested him under Operation Virusbahu. Vishnaram allegedly built a poppy husk trafficking network linking Madhya Pradesh suppliers with buyers in Rajasthan over 12 years. More than 18 criminal cases were registered against him across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana, and a Rs.1 lakh reward was announced for his arrest. Police said he moved to Madhya Pradesh as raids intensified and began working as a furniture trader, bringing artisans from Jodhpur. Investigators tracked the artisans to Umaria village in Mandsaur district, where Vishnaram was arrested on October 6 under Operation Madwaitesh....
