Woman Drug Supplier Arrested In Delhis Mangolpuri; Ganja Seized
New Delhi: A woman drug supplier was arrested from Delhi's Mangolpuri area and 427 grams of ganja was recovered from her possession, police said on Saturday. The accused was identified as 'M'. The arrest comes amid the Delhi Police's ongoing crackdown on narcotics under its 'Zero Tolerance' policy and the broader objectives of the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (NMBA). Acting on a tip-off received by Constable Bajrang of Police Station Mangolpuri that a female was allegedly in possession of ganja, a raid was conducted at the specified location. Constable Bajrang and a female staff member observed a suspicious female carrying a white polythene bag. "On noticing the presence of police personnel, the suspect attempted to hide. However, the alert police team, with the assistance of a female staff namely W/HC Pooja, swiftly apprehended her," said Sachin Sharma, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Outer District, New Delhi. A polythene bag containing 427 grams of 'ganja' and Rs 1,470 in cash was recovered from the possession of the accused. The accused was booked under Section 20(A) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985 at Police Station Mangolpuri. Further investigation is underway to identify and apprehend other associates involved in the illegal drug trade, the police said. In another case on May 29, the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of the Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested Jameel Ahmad, the alleged mastermind of a major drug trafficking syndicate. Ahmed has been absconding for six years. The case dates back to June 2019, when the then Narcotics Cell (now ANTF) of the Crime Branch seized 500 kg of ganja from a truck at Metcalfe Bus Stand, Kashmere Gate. Three persons -- Aslam Khan and Mausam Khan, both from Nuh district in Haryana, and Jakam Khan from Alwar, Rajasthan -- were arrested in connection with the consignment, who revealed that they had committed the crime at the behest of Ahmed.

Bajrang regrets actions, apologises unconditionally to coach Dahiya
Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia has tendered an unconditional apology to wrestling coach Naresh Dahiya for sullying his name during their protest against the then WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The Tokyo Games bronze medallist Bajrang, along with Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik, had led a protest against Singh, accusing him of sexual harassment of several junior women wrestlers. During the sit-in at Jantar Mantar, in a press interactions on May 10, 2023, Bajrang had said that Naresh Dahiya himself was a rape accused, so he had no right to question their protest. Dahiya had dragged Punia to court, filing a defamation case, saying he has already been cleared of any wrong doing by the court. Punia was issued summons by the court which also granted him bail in the case in the fourth hearing. On May 17 this month, Bajrang tendered his apology to the coach and regretted his action. "I tender my unconditional apology to Mr Naresh Dahiya, for the wrong and insensitive statement made by me against him during the press conference held at Jantar Mantar during agitation in pubic view," Bajrang said in his apology statement, a copy of which is in possession of PTI. "That I deeply regret for the pain and damage caused to the image of Mr Naresh Dahiya, besides pain and hurt caused to the near and dear ones due to the wrong and insensitive statement made by me against him." "That I say that Mr Dahiya is a distinguished coach and has provided his best to the nation. That I once again reiterate my regret and issue a heartfelt apology to Mr Dahiya and his loved ones," the statement read. Dahiya runs an akhara (training centre) for male wrestlers in Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area by the name of Chhotu Ram Vyayamshaala. He has trained CWG gold medallist Vinod (55kg) and wrestlers like Ramesh Guliya (74kg), who had beaten the likes of Sushil Kumar in 2005. Ravindra (65kg) and Abhishek (61kg), who have performed well at the international level, have also been trained by him. "Two or four months before the protest, these very wrestlers were praising the WFI President. Then suddenly, all this happened. There was this allegation by a random guy against me and it was mentioned by Bajrang in his address. I took an exception to that and dragged him to court. "Now that he has tendered apology, I have accepted it. His lawyer had contacted my lawyer to convey the apology. I did not have much to do with Brij Bhushan. I only went to office 3-4 times because you have to go to federation office for work-related things. I just told them that at that time that they will go away from scene gradually but there will be consequences for kids involved. That's it, nothing else." An FIR was lodged against Brij Bhushan and matter is still in court.
