The department reported that approximately 2,700 e-cigarettes and 700 knives were confiscated in the capital region. These e-cigarettes were delivered to customers in the form of packages by online companies.
Officials from the department received a tip-off that individuals were selling e-cigarettes in Delhi, while other suppliers were stockpiling large quantities of e-cigarettes in the Old Delhi area.

Acting on a tip, police intercepted two vehicles in the Sherpao Bagh Club area of the city and seized over 380 e-cigarettes after a thorough search.
The police filed a case based on the relevant provisions of the "e-cigarette prohibition law.
