<p>The minister of state for home affairs, Nityanand Rai, recently shared <a href="https://www.mha.gov.in/MHA1/Par2017/pdfs/par2024-pdfs/RS24072024/236.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India’s plan</a> to reduce the movement of drugs within India as well as its importation.&nbsp;Speaking to the parliament, Rai confirmed that India has witnessed around 92 incidents between 2020 and April 2024 involving the dark net and crypto to purchase drugs.</p> 
<p>Rai detailed 13 action plans aimed at curbing growing cases of drug trafficking. Interestingly, two of these action plans seek to address the illegal use of cryptocurrencies. He said, “A Special Task Force on Darknet and Crypto Currency has been constituted to monitor suspicious transactions related to drugs on Darknet.” Furthermore, the NCB currently offers several training courses in cryptocurrencies, darknet, and digital forensics.</p>
