"The proceedings were already taking place. We are constantly gathering intelligence. We took action once the inputs that we received were confirmed. The action was taken only after the input was confirmed. When we received input that drugs are being carried and are going to be used, then we conducted raids."

Our job is to take action on an equal scale, and we are taking action on the same scale, and this action will continue in the future. Whoever is found involved in this network, we will take action irrespective of the industry they belong to."
