In a major crackdown on organised crime, the North-West District Police of Delhi have arrested 427 individuals over the last 15 days and registered 42 cases under the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. According to ANI, this large-scale operation targeted a range of illegal activities including bootlegging, arms possession, gambling, and drug trafficking, with substantial seizures made during the raids.

A focused campaign against the illicit liquor trade resulted in the arrest of 84 persons. Law enforcement officials seized 1,357.5 litres of illicit alcohol which had been brought into Delhi from neighbouring states, presumably for illegal distribution. The police are continuing efforts to trace the supply chains and prevent further inflow of such substances.
