Quick Summary: On December 19, 2025, the Delhi High Court canceled the anticipatory bail given to Mayank Jain, who was involved in a major drug trafficking case with over 1,289 kg of cocaine and other drugs. Judge Ajay Digpaul found that the first bail decision ignored important evidence connecting Jain to the drug ring.
Massive Drug Seizure Across India: The case started on October 1, 2024, when Delhi's Special Cell got a tip and searched a house in Mahipalpur, Delhi. They caught three people and found large amounts of cocaine and marijuana. More investigations led to more drug seizures in Delhi, Gujarat, Punjab, and Mumbai, totaling 1,289 kg of cocaine and 39.706 kg of marijuana.
International Connections and Arrests: Mayank Jain, along with Anchit Jain, was said to be working from Thailand. Even though they were called in, they did not help with the investigation. Arrest warrants were issued, and they were caught at IGI Airport when they came back from Thailand on April 27, 2025.
Bail Controversy: On May 14, 2025, a judge gave anticipatory bail to Mayank Jain, saying there wasn't enough evidence. But the High Court later found this decision wrong, as it ignored a lot of evidence like phone records and witness statements connecting Jain to the drug network.
Communication and Witness Statements: The prosecution showed many phone records and WhatsApp messages between Jain and other people involved. Witnesses also said they saw him in meetings with important members of the drug group in Thailand.
Travel and Financial Links: Jain's travel records and money transactions were checked, showing his suspected role in organizing marijuana shipments from Thailand to India.
Revocation of Bail: Judge Ajay Digpaul pointed out that the first bail was given without thinking about how serious the charges were and the evidence. The court stressed that in cases with such large amounts of drugs, the rules for getting bail are very strict.
Summary of Verdict: The court canceled Jain's bail due to the serious nature of the charges and the strong evidence against him. This decision allows the investigation to move forward without any obstacles.
