NCB convicts 73 cases between January and March, record high

New Delhi: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) convicted a record 73 drug offenders in the first quarter of 2026 and handed out the toughest punishment, winning praise from Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Underlying this success is a steady increase in the agency’s conviction rate, which has climbed from 60.5% in 2024 to 65.5% in 2025 and reached 68.6% in the first three months of this year.Shah posted on
