Acting on a directive from the Gurugram Police Commissioner, a coordinated operation uncovered a hidden network that transported municipal waste and plastic debris from Delhi into Gurugram for unlawful dumping and segregation. Ten suspects were taken into custody and seven transport vehicles were confiscated.

Operation Summary

Specialised units carried out checkpoint and "naka" raids at several entry points, halting trucks suspected of carrying waste loads. Investigators say the accused moved mixed household refuse and plastic waste from Delhi to multiple sites across Gurugram, where the plastics were separated before being dispatched to other destinations.

Four FIRs have been lodged in connection with the bust. Two were filed at Bajghera police station, with one each at Udyog Vihar and Rajendra Park stations.

Confiscated Vehicles

The raids 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 illegal waste‑transport chain.

Investigation Broadens

Beyond the ten arrests, investigators are interrogating additional suspects to map the wider 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 under scrutiny, and further legal steps will follow if culpability is established.

Political Backdrop

The crackdown aligns with a directive from Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to stop out‑of‑state waste from being dumped in Gurugram. The state government has intensified its focus on the city’s waste‑management challenges and is cracking down on illegal dumping practices.

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