Acting on a directive from the Gurugram Police Commissioner, a coordinated raid uncovered a hidden network that was transporting municipal waste and plastic from Delhi into Gurugram for unlawful dumping and segregation. Ten suspects were placed in custody and seven vehicles were impounded.

Operation Details

Specialised squads conducted checkpoint and "naka" raids at multiple entry points, halting trucks suspected of carrying waste loads. Investigators say the accused shuttled mixed solid waste and plastic debris from Delhi to various sites across Gurugram, where the plastic was separated before being sent onward.

Four FIRs have been registered in connection with the bust. Two were lodged at Bajghera police station, with one each filed 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 probing how these rigs were integrated into the illegal waste‑transport chain.

Investigation Broadens

Beyond the ten arrests, investigators are interrogating additional suspects to map the wider 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 vehicles are also under scrutiny, and further legal steps will follow based on the findings.

Political backdrop

The crackdown aligns with a directive from Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to halt out‑of‑state waste dumping in Gurugram. The state administration has intensified its focus on the city’s waste‑management challenges and is actively pursuing illegal dumping operations.

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