New Delhi, July 20 (IANS) Four women drug peddlers were arrested by the anti-Narcotics Cell of the Delhi Police along with 6.5 kg cannabis, an official said Wednesday.
The accused were identified as Neelam (35), Sunita (35), Neeta (34) and Savitri (34).
DCP (Dwarka) M. Harsh Wardhan said the staff of Anti-Narcotics Cell received a secret information that some women sell drugs at Indira market near Anaj Mandi, Najafgarh.
"Acting on the tip-off, a trap was laid down at Indira market, Najafgarh, where four women were found suspicious," the DCP said.
"The Narcotics Cell team apprehended all the four women on suspicion and during their search illicit cannabis were recovered from their possession. Accordingly, the police registered a case under section 8 and 20 of the NDPS Act at Baba Haridas Nagar police station and arrested all the accused."
Search is on to nab the main supplier," the official said.
Currently lodged in Tihar jail in a MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) case, Bishnoi is allegedly involved in more than five dozen criminal cases lodged against him in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab. He had once threatened to kill Bollywood actor Salman Khan.
The Chief Minister said Moosewala was a multi-talented artist who was blessed with mesmerising voice and creativity. He said his untimely and tragic death has given a major blow to the music industry in general and millions of his fans in particular.
The plea, filed through advocate-on-record Namit Saxena and advocates Sarthak Chaturvedi and Shubham Jaiswal, submitted that there is a storm of fear and terror in Punjab, which warrants interference by the Supreme Court as fundamental rights of entire population of Punjab have been jeopardised at large.
In less than 24 hours after his security was curtailed, singer-turned-actor-politician Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead by gangsters close to his ancestral village in Mansa in broad daylight.
Moosewala, 29, was brutally murdered on May 29 by assailants who fired multiple rounds at him near his native village in Punjab's Mansa district. He was rushed to a hospital where the doctors declared him brought dead.
The gangster had moved the high court after a NIA court of Patiala House Court junked his plea on Monday. In the plea, he sought a direction to the Delhi Police and the Tihar Jail authorities to ensure all necessary security arrangements for him.
