Dwarka police turned the heat on fugitives and smugglers with back-to-back arrests on February 27, seizing a huge liquor cache and nabbing a proclaimed offender. Part of intensified drives targeting interstate booze rackets and evaders, the actions showcase tactical prowess.
Kicking off was the capture of Rizwan, 35, from Mohan Garden, Uttam Nagar. A Section 138 NI Act case had him on the run, with Dwarka court proclaiming him offender on January 13 (case 17222/2021). Sector-10 became his undoing on February 21, thanks to a tipster’s whisper guiding Inspector Harish Kumar’s team—monitored by ACP (Operations)—to slap BNSS 35(1)(D) charges. Clean slate otherwise, say cops.
The spotlight then shifted to Prashant, 29, son of Ram Babu, a smuggling specialist. Special staff got wind of his Sector-10 rendezvous with illegal stock. His getaway bid in a Mahindra XUV 500 met a wall of pursuing patrols, leading to a bust.
Inside: 40 cartons, 2,000 quarters of forbidden brew. Prashant masterminded luxury vehicle transports for Delhi-Haryana runs, with priors under Excise and NDPS statutes. Dwarka DCP Ankit Singh spotlighted intel-ground synergy as the triumph key. Deeper digs promise more revelations, fortifying the fight against illicit trade.
