Jaipur cops arrest ‘supplier' with smack worth Rs 1.6cr
Jaipur: Crime branch of Jaipur police Monday arrested a 39-year-old drug trafficker with 530 grams of smack worth Rs 1.6 crore in his possession. Deputy commissioner of police (crime) Kundan Kanwariya said the man was identified as Ram Rup Mali, a native of Sawai Madhopur district.
A special police team monitored Mali's movements for some time before intercepting him near Kho Nagoriyan. Officials said he supplied drugs for the past few months to local distributors linked to larger trafficking syndicates.
During questioning, Mali reportedly admitted that he sourced the contraband from a man named Sanu Khan, a resident of Aklera in Jhalawar district. He further disclosed that he supplied smack in Jaipur for the past 2–3 months and was working for prominent local traffickers, including Ashok alias Telia Sansi, Vicky Sansi, and Pintu Sansi.
Police said Mali supplied the narcotics twice a month, and the payments were transferred to the Jhalawar-based suppliers through e-Mitra platforms to avoid detection. The funds generated from the illegal trade were used to support his personal lifestyle and hobbies, officials added.
The crime branch is now tracing the broader network of traffickers operating between Jhalawar and Jaipur. "Efforts are underway to locate other suspects and identify other financial links used in the illegal drug trade.
The accused was booked under relevant provisions of the NDPS Act, and further investigation is ongoing," Kanwariya said.

A special operation codenamed 'Operation White Veil' was carried out in the bordering areas of Manipur's Churachandpur district on June 5-7 by a joint team of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Customs, Assam Rifles, and the Manipur Police.

In spite of the challenges and difficulties, a well-coordinated action by the law enforcement agencies led to the successful operation, it added. The NDPS Act prescribes stringent punishment to offenders, which may entail rigorous imprisonment up to 10 years.

Police probe insider angle in 15L robbery in Chachu Majra
Mohali: Five days after a robbery of approximately Rs 15 lakh was reported in Chachu Majra village, the local police remain puzzled by a series of unanswered questions and have yet to formally register a case. Police sources suggest the possibility of insider involvement, as the sequence of events has raised several suspicions. The robbery allegedly took place at the residence of Thakur Singh, who had reportedly kept the cash at home after selling land in 2024. During the incident, Thakur Singh and his son, Sukhjeet Singh, were rendered unconscious with a sedative, while his daughter was left unharmed. The robbers reportedly fled with the entire sum of Rs 15 lakh. The police sources said they are particularly intrigued by the fact that the robbers seemed to know exactly where the money was kept and targeted only the father and son. "Why was the daughter spared if the robbers had come prepared with sedatives? And how did they know the cash hadn't been deposited in a bank after the land sale and its exact placement?" a police officer asked. Another point of concern is the delayed reporting. The police sources said, the family approached authorities only the next afternoon, raising doubts about the sequence and nature of events. "If a robbery of this magnitude took place, why wasn't it reported immediately?" the officer added. Investigators are also curious about how the robbers managed to enter the house without alerting the family or neighbours. "There were no signs of forced entry — no doors or locks were broken. This raises the possibility that the robbers either had keys or were let in by someone from the inside," the source noted. Adding to the mystery is the behaviour of the daughter during the incident. "If the robbers already knew where the money was, why did they ask her about it instead of simply taking it? And why wasn't she subdued like the others?" the officer asked. While no official FIR has been registered yet, police say they are investigating the case from all possible angles and are confident that a breakthrough will come soon. A senior police officer stated, "We are looking into every detail and questioning the household. The facts will come out soon, and we will ensure justice is delivered."
