After Sagar tragedy, Madhya Pradesh Police uncover hooch racket with Delhi link
14 arrested over a period of two days, taking the total number of those held in the case to 37; chemical used to make the counterfeit liquor that led to at least 20 deaths earlier this month came from company in Delhi, police allege
The Hindu reports that a police operation in Telangana has uncovered a connection between a cattle theft gang and a mobile phone racket, leading to the arrest of nine suspects. The gang, which operated across Nagarkurnool, Mahbubnagar, and Nalgonda districts, was found to have stolen 17 phones, targeting isolated cattle sheds during Ramzan and Bakrid.
They allegedly used Xylazine, a sedative, to render the cattle drowsy before loading them into vehicles. After the Ramzan and Bakrid festivals, the gang shifted focus to mobile phone shop thefts, collaborating with a Mumbai-based Farahan Shaik. The stolen phones were eventually smuggled from Mumbai to Bangladesh through intermediaries. Three suspects remain at large, including a Bangladesh national.
