Members of a Mexican drug cartel called Jalisco New Generation, or CJNG, were involved in this operation, the police have said.
Less than a week after a meth lab was busted in Chennai - cue references to iconic TV show 'Breaking Bad' - similar scenes played out in the national capital region. Cops raided a production centre in the Kasana industrial area of Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddha Nagar, and recovered 95 kg of the drug in solid and liquid forms, as well as chemicals like acetone and red phosphorous.
The narcotics were being manufactured for sale in India and abroad, the cops said; members of a Mexican drug cartel called Jalisco New Generation, or CJNG, were involved in this operation. The CJNG began life as an offshoot of the Milenio Cartel, which is one of Mexico's most feared; CJNG members, some Mexican news reports claim, cannibalise new recruits who fail their training.
The joint drug operation had a presence across Delhi and the national capital region.
