Uttarakhand Police’s ‘Surgical Strike’ on Drug Mafia! SSP Manikant Mishra’s Action Triggers Panic in Bareilly
Uttarakhand Police launched a large-scale raid in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly, arresting 25 drug smugglers and seizing a significant quantity of narcotics. Led by Udham Singh Nagar SSP Manikant Mishra, a 300-member force of police and PAC personnel carried out the midnight operation, marking the first time such a cross-border action has taken place between two states.
Well-Planned Operation Against Drug Smugglers
The covert operation was meticulously planned, with detailed surveillance and strategic coordination before execution. The force, armed with ultra-modern weapons, moved into Fatehganj West and Agras areas of Bareilly, which were known hubs for drug trafficking. The entire area was cordoned off, resembling a security cantonment, ensuring that smugglers had no escape. During the search operation, police successfully detained 25 suspects involved in the drug trade. The operation also saw the participation of SP Crime Niharika Tomar, SP Rudrapur, and SP Kashipur, along with police teams from multiple jurisdictions.
Bareilly Police Caught Off Guard
The highly professional and strategic operation by Uttarakhand Police has sent shockwaves through Bareilly Police, who were expected to act against these networks but had yet to do so. The operation underscored Uttarakhand Police’s commitment to cracking down on drug trafficking and sent a strong message to criminals that crossing state borders will not provide immunity from law enforcement.

Message to Drug Smugglers
