Haryana registered 3,738 FIRs under the NDPS Act and arrested 6,801 accused in 2025.
Describing it as state’s strongest enforcement action against drug trafficking to date, Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Sumita Misra said, “From 2020 to 2025, Haryana registered 20,519 FIRs under the NDPS Act and arrested 35,207 accused persons during the last six years. This sustained crackdown has sent a strong deterrent message to drug traffickers across the region, with enforcement numbers showing a steady upward trajectory year after year. The arrests spanned multiple states with the largest numbers coming from Uttar Pradesh with 169 arrests, followed by Punjab with 147, Rajasthan with 64, and Delhi with 45 accused. Other states including Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and several north eastern states also saw their residents arrested in Haryana for drug-related offences.”
Giving details about the foreign nationals arrested in Haryana for alleged drug-trafficking, Misra added, “The authorities apprehended 26 Nigerians, 6 Nepalis, and 1 Senegal (Africa) individual. In 2025 alone, authorities registered 457 commercial quantity NDPS cases and arrested 1,227 accused, the highest annual figures in the six-year period. Overall, commercial quantity cases resulted in 2,224 FIRs and 5,824 arrests during the period under report.”
“In 2025, a total of 586 accused were arrested, including 553 from other states and 33 foreign nationals, representing a significant increase from 444 arrests in 2024. This showcases the growing reach and effectiveness of Haryana’s enforcement agencies. Over the six-year period, Haryana has seized narcotics worth hundreds of crores, striking a major blow to drug trafficking networks. The seizures include a staggering 55,701 kilograms of ganja, disrupting cannabis supply chains across northern India. Poppy straw emerged as the largest category with 89,696 kilograms seized, followed by 1,300 kilograms of charas and 229 kilograms of heroin. Notably, in 2025 alone, authorities confiscated 55.84 kilograms of heroin, one of the highest annual seizures for this dangerous narcotic,” Misra said.
“Other significant recoveries included 1,819 kilograms of opium, 3,392 kilograms of opium plants, and 814 grams of cocaine over the six-year period. The authorities also seized emerging synthetic drugs including over one kilogram of MD, MDA, and MDMA, along with smaller quantities of methamphetamine, LSD, and brown sugar.
Misra further informed that in year 2025, enforcement agencies confiscated 18,039 kilograms of poppy straw and 6,257 kilograms of ganja, along with 645 grams of MDMA and 240 grams of cocaine. A particularly concerning category has been pharmaceutical drugs, where authorities seized over 58.44 lakh units including capsules, injections, tablets, and bottles that were being diverted for abuse. In 2025 alone, more than 6.59 lakh pharmaceutical drug units were recovered from illegal channels,” Misra said.
“In 2025 alone, properties worth Rs. 13.59 crore belonging to 143 affected persons were attached, while in 2023 and 2024, properties worth Rs. 13.27 crore and Rs. 7.55 crore were seized from 61 and 54 individuals respectively. This sustained focus on financial investigation and asset forfeiture ensures that convicted drug dealers cannot enjoy the proceeds of their illegal activities,” Misra said.
