Delhi Police Arrest Man with 59 Spools of Banned Chinese Manjha in SeelampurPreviousNext

Delhi Police arrested 27-year-old Mohd. Shakir in northeast Delhi's Seelampur for possessing 59 spools of banned Chinese manjha, recovered during a patrol following a tip-off. The synthetic, glass-coated kite string is prohibited due to safety risks to people, birds, and infrastructure. Shakir reportedly sourced the manjha from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. An FIR has been filed, and investigations continue to trace the supply chain and other involved parties.
