Acting on a directive from the Gurugram Police Commissioner, special squads uncovered a hidden network that was moving municipal waste and plastic scrap from Delhi into Gurugram for unlawful dumping and segregation. The operation led to the arrest of ten suspects and the impoundment of seven transport vehicles.

How the Raid Unfolded

Teams set up checkpoints and conducted "naka" raids at several entry points, halting trucks that appeared to be carrying mixed refuse. Investigators say the gang transported a blend of household garbage and plastic debris from Delhi to multiple sites inside Gurugram, where the plastic was separated before being shipped elsewhere.

Four First Information Reports (FIRs) have been filed in connection with the bust. Two were lodged at Bajghera police station, while one each was registered at Udyog Vihar and Rajendra Park stations.

Vehicles Confiscated

The operation resulted in the seizure of seven vehicles, comprising a mix of canters and tractor‑trolleys. Police are now verifying ownership details and investigating how these rigs were integrated into the illegal waste‑transport chain.

Broader Investigation Underway

Beyond the ten arrests, investigators are interrogating additional suspects to map the full extent of the network. They are examining collection points in Delhi, the routes used to ferry waste into Gurugram, and the final destinations of the segregated material. The owners of the seized trucks are also under scrutiny, and further legal steps will be taken if culpability is established.

Political Backdrop

The crackdown comes after Haryana Chief Minister Naveen Singh Saini ordered a stop to out‑of‑state waste being dumped in Gurugram. The state government has intensified its focus on the city’s waste‑management challenges and is keen on curbing illegal dumping practices.

Police have confirmed that the anti‑illegal‑waste drive will continue, with more arrests and vehicle seizures expected as the probe expands.
