CBN seizes 66.80 lakh psychotropic tablets in major inter-state pharmaceutical diversion case under Operation Vajra 2.0; one arrested

The Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN) MP Unit executed Operation Vajra 2.0 along the Chandigarh–Baddi interstate route on 27–28 August 2026, intercepting a truck carrying 66,79,980 psychotropic tablets consisting of Alprazolam, Tramadol, Nitrazepam, and Clonazepam. The consignment lacked statutory documentation, and batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiry dates were erased from the blister strips and boxes to evade regulatory tracking. One person was arrested, and the vehicle along with the contraband was seized under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. Follow-up investigations are underway to uncover the manufacturing and distribution networks.
