Delhi Police disclosed on October 2 that Operation Kavach 15.0 had resulted in 256 people being apprehended in 214 narcotics cases. PTI-Bhasha’s report in Navbharat Times says the total includes a minor. These are police enforcement figures, not convictions.

The police statement dates the main operation from September 24 evening to September 26 evening, with follow-up through October 1. The October 2 development is publication of the results; it should not be read as 256 arrests made that day. Police said teams acted at 1,708 locations.

ANI also reported the figures on October 2 and described seizures of cannabis, heroin and other substances, together with about ₹23 lakh in suspected proceeds. Reported cocaine quantities differ between the agency accounts, so no cocaine weight is stated here. Investigators said financial inquiries and examination of supply links were part of the operation. Individual allegations remain subject to judicial proceedings.
