Daulewala, village in Moga district declared ‘notorious for drugs' in 2014, faces ‘bulldozer justice'; houses of 4 accused in NDPS cases demolished
Bathinda: A village in Moga district, once known for distilling hooch and now infamous for the sale of heroin, on Saturday stood witness to Punjab Police's "bulldozer justice" against people involved in the drug trade. Punjab Police personnel and officials of Moga district administration reached Daulewala village in Dharamkot subdivision during the day to bulldoze houses belonging to three men and a woman from the village who are facing multiple drug FIRs in drug cases. The demolished structures, said Moga senior superintendent of police Ajay Gandhi, had been built by encroaching upon land illegally or constructed with ill-gotten money. On May 29, 2014, Punjab Police had installed a board outside the village which stated that Daulewala was notorious for drugs and people coming to the village were under surveillance. This evoked sharp reactions, and the board was removed the next day. Whenever a drive against drugs is launched, it passes through Daulewala. For quite some time now, the village had not been in the news. Falling under Kot Ise Khan police station, Daulewala lies close to the Satluj river. A number of residents of Daulewala migrated from Pakistan during Partition. Being close to the Satluj, there were earlier complaints of people distilling illegal liquor, and over time, the village became infamous for various types of drugs, including chitta (Heroin). Gandhi said, "As per the report prepared by Moga block development and panchayat officer (BDPO), the four houses in Daulewala were found to be built on encroached land, and when the entire record was checked, it was also found that the owners face multiple FIRs under sections of IPC and NDPS Act under commercial quantity." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Her Outfit Caught Everyone's Eye The Stadium True Edition Undo He said the houses of Buta Singh, who is in jail and faces 7 FIRs; Paramjit Singh, who is also in jail and faces 9 FIRs; Lakhwinder Singh, who is out on bail and faces eight FIRs; and Rajwinder Kaur, who is also out on bail and faces 15 FIRs under various sections, have been razed under police protection as per the report prepared by civil authorities.
