Shimla,31 dec
Drug peddlers are busy adopting new tactics for smuggling chitta, but the police are two steps ahead of them. Paddlers are creating such places in their vehicles and houses where no one can see. Special arrangements and secret places are being made in vehicles for this so that smuggling of chitta can be done easily, but the police are foiling every plan of the paddlers. By doing modifications in vehicles, small pockets are made in such places where no one can easily see. For example, such places are being created near the petrol tank, in the dashboard, in the seats of the car, etc., so that the consignment of chitta can reach easily. However, under Clean Shimla Drive, Shimla Police is leading in the entire state in the matter of action against drug paddlers, and in the cases of the NDPS Act, the maximum number of cases has been registered in Shimla district in 11 months this year.
The Dhaba operator in Gurdasnagar on the Theog to Chhaila road had secretly made a box under the tiles of the room on the upper floor of his Dhaba, inside which up to 10 kg of opium could be kept. Based on the information, when the police team raided the place and removed the tiles, 2.100 kg of opium was recovered from here. The accused had made the box in this way to secretly hide the illegal drug, so that no one would have any doubt about it.
In the action taken by the police on the basis of information in the Jubbal area, the accused father-son thoroughly searched the kitchen inside the house in Chandrapur village, and it was found that another small secret drawer was made inside the kitchen drawer, from inside which the police recovered 50.20 grams of chitta, a small scale, and Rs 26,990 collected from this business.
