In a joint operation directed by the Gurugram Police Commissioner, law‑enforcement agencies uncovered a hidden network that was moving solid waste and recyclable plastics from Delhi into Gurugram for illegal dumping and sorting. Ten suspects were taken into custody and seven transport vehicles were impounded.

How the Raid Unfolded

Specialised squads carried out checkpoint and "naka" raids at several entry points, stopping trucks that were flagged as carrying waste consignments. According to investigators, the accused were shuttling mixed municipal garbage and plastic scrap from Delhi to various sites within Gurugram, where the plastic was separated before being dispatched to other destinations.

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

Vehicles Confiscated

The operation resulted in the seizure of seven vehicles – a combination of canters and tractor‑trolleys. Police are now verifying ownership details and examining how these rigs were integrated into the illicit waste‑transport chain.

Wider Investigation Underway

Beyond the ten arrests, investigators are interrogating suspects to map the broader network. They are probing collection points in Delhi, the routes used to ferry waste into Gurugram, and the ultimate buyers of the segregated material. The owners of the seized trucks are also being scrutinised, and further legal steps will follow if involvement is established.

Political Backdrop

The clamp‑down follows a directive from Haryana Chief Minister Naina Singh Saini to halt out‑of‑state waste from being dumped in Gurugram. The state government has intensified its focus on the city’s waste‑management problems and is aggressively pursuing illegal dumping operations.

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