Jaipur, June 20: In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking and organized crime, the Barmer police demolished the alleged illegal residence of a key suspect involved in the production of MD (Mephedrone) drugs on Friday. This action was part of ‘Operation Clean,’ conducted collaboratively by the police, district administration, and revenue department.
The operation was carried out under the directives of Rajasthan’s Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar Sharma and the Inspector General (IG) of the Jodhpur range. Officials targeted a permanent residential house built on government land in the Singhar village area of the Sedwa police station.
According to Barmer Superintendent of Police (SP) Chunararam Jat, the property belonged to Arbab Khan, the son of Musa Khan, who was previously arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act related to an illegal MD drug manufacturing unit. The police are also keeping a watch on his son, Kareem Khan, who is wanted in the same case.
Police officials reported that the accused had constructed an opulent house by illegally occupying government land. After the Sedwa Station House Officer (SHO) identified the encroachment, a formal proposal for its removal was submitted to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), who subsequently issued the order for demolition.
Following the orders, a joint team of police and administration, equipped with adequate security measures, arrived in Singhar village and used JCB machines and bulldozers to carry out the demolition.
The operation was overseen by a special police team led by Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Nitesh Arya, with support from Circle Officer Jetharam and Sedwa SHO Prabhuram. The demolition was conducted in the presence of Sedwa SDM Badrinarayan, Tehsildar Jotaram Meena, Sub-Tehsildar Mahendra Singh, Assistant Development Officer Prahladram Pawar, and other revenue and local administration officials.
SP Chunararam Jat stated that the district police will continue to take strict action against drug traffickers and criminals involved in organized crime. He further emphasized that efforts are being made not only to arrest criminals but also to identify and act against properties allegedly created through illegal activities.
