Gurugram Police Demolish Illegal Properties Linked to Convicted Drug Offenders

Authorities in Gurugram demolished an eight-story building owned by Satpal, a convicted drug smuggler with multiple cases under the NDPS Act. The property, allegedly acquired through drug trafficking proceeds and used as a paying guest facility, was declared illegal by the Anti-Narcotics Cell. Over 50 municipal workers participated in the demolition despite objections from Satpal's family. Police also razed a property illegally occupied by Rajwanti, accused of drug peddling and encroaching on government land. The action was ordered by the chief minister and involved a joint departmental team.
