28 bullets exchanged between two Rashid Cablewala gang hitmen and Delhi police in Usmanpur, both held
Of the 12 bullets the duo fired, one bullet each hit the bulletproof vests of two police officers, the officers said.
On September 16, police in Rohini intercepted a delivery of heroin in a white SUV driven by 58-year-old Laxman Hooda. They seized 300 grams of the drug and three lakh rupees in cash. Hooda informed officers of his supplier, Anil, who lived in Delhi's Raghubir Nagar. Police tracked Anil to Haryana's Sonipat and arrested him, recovering another 500 grams of heroin.
It took 15 days to locate Anil's supplier, Bablu, in Lucknow. A raid on a heroin manufacturing facility in Lucknow's Sita Colony on October 4 led to the arrest of Bablu and the seizure of 6.275 kg of freshly manufactured heroin. This heroin is worth about Rs. 50 crores on the international market. The Sita Colony raid also uncovered a variety of drug-making supplies, including sodium, acetic anhydride, and a weighing machine.
The supplier of these materials, Ruksar Ali, was apprehended in Bareilly after a 120 km pursuit. This marks the second significant heroin bust in Rohini this year; in April, police arrested a family-run heroin operation that traced back to Bareilly and other parts of UP, resulting in the recovery of a batch worth Rs. 16 crores. This latest operation was the second big heroin bust in Rohani this year.
In April, police apprehended a family-run operation, leading to another Rs. 16 crore seizure. The source of this operation was traced to Manipur, where two men allegedly procured opium poppy from a woman near the Indo-Myanmar border.
