New Delhi, July 20 (IANS) Four women drug peddlers were arrested by the anti-Narcotics Cell of the Delhi Police along with 6.5 kg cannabis, an official said Wednesday.
The accused were identified as Neelam (35), Sunita (35), Neeta (34) and Savitri (34).
DCP (Dwarka) M. Harsh Wardhan said the staff of Anti-Narcotics Cell received a secret information that some women sell drugs at Indira market near Anaj Mandi, Najafgarh.
"Acting on the tip-off, a trap was laid down at Indira market, Najafgarh, where four women were found suspicious," the DCP said.
"The Narcotics Cell team apprehended all the four women on suspicion and during their search illicit cannabis were recovered from their possession. Accordingly, the police registered a case under section 8 and 20 of the NDPS Act at Baba Haridas Nagar police station and arrested all the accused."
Search is on to nab the main supplier," the official said.
The motive behind the murder was not yet clear, according to the police. Police said, the man went to a local market for shopping along with his family. He was shot dead when he was on his way back home.
In his previous marriage to Inderpreet Kaur, which ended in a divorce in 2016, Mann has two children -- son Dilshan and daughter Seerat -- who are currently staying in the US with their mother. Both children had attended Mann's swearing-in ceremony at Khatkar Kalan on March 16.
A spokesman for the Chief Minister's office said all domestic consumers in the state would be eligible to get zero bills if their consumption is up to 600 units in every billing cycle. This will give a big reprieve to the domestic consumers who have to hitherto shell out huge money every month in the form of power tariff.
On receiving information about the incident, SP City Dinesh Kumar Singh, along with police force, reached the spot. The injured youths were sent to the hospital for treatment and the matter is being investigated.
The Chief Minister said the government is fully sensitive towards checking cross-border infiltration in Punjab. He said Punjab Police is constantly in touch with the Border Security Force (BSF) and other agencies for this purpose.
While briefing the officers, the DGP said the topmost priority of the government, as directed by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, is to further strengthen the fight against drugs to make Punjab a drug-free state, besides eliminating the gangster culture, maintaining law and order, and detection of crime.
