Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) M. Harsh Vardhan said 21 teams comprising 300 policemen conducted simultaneous raids at 15 locations in Delhi and six in Haryana.
“We have detained 20 people on the basis of seizures made during the raids and searches and arrested six in connection with various offenses under the Arms Act and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS),” the DCP said.

Police have also recovered a bullet proof Fortuner car, three pistols with seven bullets, Rs 20 lakh in cash, 22.4 grams of heroin and 73 grams of amphetamine from various places.
According to the police, six people, including two juveniles, were arrested in connection with the murder of Delhi BJP Kisan Morcha leader Surendra Matiala in Dwarka’s Bindapur. One of the two shooters arrested from Chandigarh was linked to the Kapil Sangwan gang.
