The arrest took place today during patrolling and crime prevention duties led by Assistant Sub-inspector (ASI) Pawan Kumar under the jurisdiction of Hallo Majra Police Post.

When the police team reached Kabari Market, Hallo Majra, the suspect attempted to flee on spotting them. He was apprehended outside his office and identified as Pankaj Kumar. A search of plastic bags kept in the open revealed a substantial illegal liquor stock. The accused could not produce any licence or permit for the stock.

Pankaj Kumar, who is illiterate and unemployed, has a long history of criminal activity. Police records confirm his involvement in at least 26 previous cases, including repeated offences under Section 61-1-14 of the Excise Act and the Arms Act.
