Wanted drug supplier arrested by Delhi police

A drug supplier was arrested by special cell of Delhi Police on Monday from Hoshiyarpur District, Punjab. He was absconding since 2018 in case pertaining to seizure of 3.5 kg of heroin in national capital.

The accused is identified as Sidharth who hails from Punjab. According to the police, the accused has been arrested from his rented house.

"In December 2018, he was granted interim bail for three weeks by the trial court in this case. But, instead of surrendering, he jumped the bail and went underground. He re-orgzed his drug syndicate and re-indulged in drug trafficking with the help of his other associates," said the police official.

Delhi police had declared a reward of Rs 50,000 on any information leading to his arrest.
