Not one, not two, but a staggering 5000-crore-rupee drug trade was flourishing in the heart of India’s capital, Delhi, unbeknownst to the public. The unveiling of this international racket is nothing short of a thriller.
In reality, the burgeoning trade of the infamous 'Meow Meow' drugs in Delhi is now found to have deep ties with Dubai. While operations were thriving in Delhi, the puppet master sat comfortably in Dubai—one Virendra Basoya.
Virendra Basoya's Political Influences
The uncovering of this international syndicate's leader, Virendra Basoya, holding hefty political clout, was possible only after the arrest of certain suspects by the police. You might be surprised to learn that Basoya’s dark empire extends its tentacles from London to Dubai and various other countries.
Investigations thus far have revealed that Virendra Basoya, a resident of South Delhi’s Sarojini Nagar, is the mastermind of this operation. From his whereabouts in Dubai, he orchestrated the illicit drug trade within India.

First Emergence in 2023
The name Virendra Basoya surfaced for the first time in the sinister world of narcotics in 2023, when Pune Police seized 'Meow Meow' drugs worth 3,000 crore. Basoya played a crucial role in that syndicate too.
Ex-Legislator's Daughter Becomes Basoya's Daughter-in-law
Following the Pune Police revelation of his name, Basoya fled from Delhi to Dubai. His influence is evident by the fact that his daughter-in-law is the daughter of a former legislator, with the wedding held at a farm in Delhi.
Four Crores Per Delivery
In this colossal racket, the arrested Tushar Goyal and Virendra Basoya were closely connected. Basoya assured Tushar four crore rupees per drug deal delivery. With the disclosure of this syndicate, several drug lords in Mumbai, Pune, and other states have fallen under the radar of the Delhi Police Special Cell. So far, a total of five arrests have been made; four in Delhi, including Tushar, and one in Amritsar.
Delhi Police’s Mission to Bring Basoya Back
To dismantle this vast module, the police aim to bring the overseas gang leader Virendra Basoya back to India, coordinating with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Yet, what exactly is 'Meow Meow' that fuels this shadowy realm?
What Is 'Meow Meow'?
The true name of 'Meow Meow' is Mephedrone, a synthetic substance utilized in narcotics. It's dubbed 'Meow Meow' because of its sharp and mild stimulant effects on users. It's cheaper than heroin and cocaine but possesses a significantly higher intoxicating potential.
