BHABHUA--------------------------In a significant operation, the police—acting on a tip-off—have arrested three individuals, including a married couple, and seized 52.58 grams of heroin along with Rs 19,48,012 in cash. The arrests were made within the jurisdiction of the Kudra police station.

According to the police, a tip-off was received around 11:40 PM on Friday, indicating that Gullur Singh (alias Anchal Singh)—son of Manager Singh, a resident of Kudra—was, along with his associates, engaged in packing heroin at the residence of Kiran Devi (wife of Jitendra Singh) in Ward No. 11, Kudra. To verify the information and take immediate action, a raid was conducted at Kiran Devi’s house in the presence of the Kudra Circle Officer (acting as a magistrate). During the search, 52.58 grams of a narcotic substance (suspected to be heroin) and Rs 19,48,012 in cash were recovered. Kiran Devi was arrested at the scene.

Other individuals arrested in connection with this case include Mintu Singh (aged approximately 26, son of Baleshwar Singh, from Karampura Pipra, Durgawati police station, Kaimur) and Rajesh Singh (aged approximately 20, son of Baleshwar Singh, from Karampura Pipra, Durgawati police station, Kaimur). Meanwhile, ongoing raids are being conducted to apprehend the primary suspects in the case: Gullur Singh (alias Anchal Singh), Shibu Singh, and Jitendra Singh. A case has been registered at the Kudra police station under the NDPS Act, and further legal proceedings are underway. The police stated that the main accused, Gullur Singh (alias Anchal Singh), has a prior criminal record; two other cases under the NDPS Act are already registered against him at the Kudra police station.

Meanwhile, according to sources, the involvement of certain so-called 'social workers' and prominent public representatives from the district in the heroin trafficking trade—which has been flourishing within the jurisdiction of the Kudra police station—cannot be ruled out. The administration needs to pay attention to this aspect as well.
