Bhopal police orchestrated a textbook raid on the Iranian Dera in Aman Colony, Nishatpura, deploying over 400 officers in a 2 AM assault shrouded in secrecy. The perimeter was locked tight amid the night’s silence, triggering chaos as search teams fanned out.
Every residence was scrutinized, suspects grilled, and more than 40 individuals—including women—taken into custody. Detainees include perpetrators of major crimes in Madhya Pradesh and neighboring regions.
Police celebrated nabbing high-value target Shahaadat, rewarded at Rs 1.38 lakh after evading capture for long. DCP Mayur Khandelwal led the charge, supported by elite ranks under Commissioner Sanjay Kumar’s strategic guidance.
The bust revisits the site of last month’s seizure of Abid Ali, the elusive Raju or Rahman Dakait, architect of a 14-state crime empire dealing in dacoity, deception, extortion, forgeries, arsons, and hit attempts. Maharashtra invoked MCOCA against him for his chameleon-like ruses: fake CBI badges, safari-clad inspector personas, or saintly garb to manipulate the pious.
With interrogations underway, the net widens. This decisive strike exemplifies Bhopal’s aggressive stance on syndicated lawlessness, promising a safer urban landscape for citizens.
