        tentacles in SirsaReport exposes drug mafia,
        active role played by politicians
 Sirsa, April 27
 The most-wanted criminal Dawood
        Ibrahim, besides inter-state gang of drug mafias and politicians were
        involved in smuggling of opium, heroin and poppy husk worth several
        crores every year through the district and other parts of Haryana,
        Punjab and Rajasthan. These facts surfaced from a confidential report
        prepared by a senior functionary of the district police after getting
        inputs from his own intelligence wing and from the neighbouring states.
        The report prepared under the instruction of a DGP will soon be
        submitted to him and the state government.
