Goyal’s involvement came to light during police interrogations, where he admitted to his role within the party, and his social media profiles corroborated his confession. However, Goyal has created a profile on social media in the name of Dikki Goyal.
Meanwhile, BJP spokesperson and MP Sudhanshu Trivedi held a press conference in Delhi and spoke about the seizure of drugs valued at ₹22,000 crore, linking the main accused, Tushar Goyal, to the Indian Youth Congress as its RTI cell chief.
He expressed concern that this connection raises serious questions about Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, asserting that they have Goyal’s appointment letter from March 2020, which explicitly mentions Rahul and Sonia Gandhi.
“…Our government seized drugs worth ₹22,000 crore. More concerning is that the main accused, Tushar Goyal, also known on social media as Dicky Goyal, is the chief of the Indian Youth Congress’s RTI cell. This raises serious questions, suggesting that Rahul Gandhi’s “Mohabbat Ki dukan,” previously associated with hatred, is now linked to drugs as well. We are not making these allegations lightly; we have Tushar Goyal’s appointment letter from March 24, 2020, which mentions Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. The letter states, “Dear Tushar, I am pleased to appoint you as the Chairman of the RTI Department of Delhi Pradesh Youth Congress with immediate effect…” said Trivedi.

According to reports, authorities seized a substantial consignment of 560 kg of cocaine worth ₹5,600 crore on October 2 in Delhi, along with 40 kg of marijuana valued at around ₹20 crore, which had been transported from Phuket.
Durg syndicate’s connections to Dubai
The police investigation in the case has revealed the drug syndicate’s connections to Dubai, with a key businessman identified as a supplier of cocaine.
Further, investigators noted that Dubai serves as a hub for drug transactions linked to organised crime syndicates.
The investigation began three months ago, following intelligence from central agencies about a sprawling drug network operating across India. Surveillance efforts led to the discovery of a warehouse in Mahipalpur, where the drugs were hidden inside cartons of clothing.
2 suspects held
On Tuesday evening, police arrested two suspects, Himanshu and Aurangzeb, who were caught receiving the shipment. They revealed that the cocaine was concealed in a box of clothes stored nearby.
Goyal is 40 years old and a resident of Vasant Vihar. His father owns prominent publication businesses in Paharganj and Daryaganj. Himanshu, identified as Goyal’s associate, played a crucial role in the operation, while Aurangzeb was responsible for transporting the drugs.
The investigation continues as police work to uncover further links within this extensive drug trafficking network .
