What started as a viral social media video showcasing her brazen dealings alerted authorities, sparking a high-tech pursuit. The ANC team zeroed in on her hideout in Garib Nagar, seizing drugs valued at 4.8 lakh rupees and halting her operations that spanned Bandra and beyond.

Not just a street-level seller, Nazia orchestrated supplies through a network of accomplices, feeding addiction in key urban pockets. Registered under stringent NDPS provisions, the case reveals potential ties to bigger cartels, prompting an expansive probe into her associates and suppliers.

Authorities are tracing the video’s source and identifying others featured in it, aiming to decapitate the syndicate. This arrest sends a strong message to drug mafias thriving in Mumbai’s shadows, with police vowing to intensify surveillance and raids.

The operation highlights the dual role of social media in exposing crimes while challenging law enforcement to act swiftly in the digital age.
