SHIMLA— The arrest of a Haryana cop in the drug racket has blown the lid off a harsh truth.
The 'chitta' network is not just about peddlers. It runs deep. Police lines are breached. Political power is shielding the rot.
Himachal Police is patting its back. Under the PIT NDPS Act, 20 offenders are now behind bars.
In just two weeks, 16 were detained. All three police ranges have acted. But let’s be real. This is not enough.
Big names are in the net:
Amit Kumar alias Kammu, from Una.
Rajeev Thakur alias Raja, from Kangra.
Sandeep Chauhan alias Sandy, from Solan.
Manish Verma alias Mani, from Mandi.
Vikas Rana alias Vicky Don, from Hamirpur.
Sukhwinder Singh alias Sukha, from Bilaspur.
Rohit Kumar alias Roro, from Shimla.
Dinesh Mehta alias Dina, from Kullu.
Baldev Thakur alias Ballu, from Chamba.
Rakesh Rana alias Raka, from Sirmaur.
Praveen Sharma alias Pinu, from Kangra.
Sunil Chauhan alias Sunny, from Solan.
Mohit Verma alias Monty, from Mandi.
Ashok Kumar alias Shoka, from Bilaspur.
Anil Thakur alias Annu, from Kullu.
Vikram Singh alias Vicky, from Chamba.
Karan Kumar alias Karanu, from Hamirpur.
Jitender alias Jeetu, from Una.
Yogesh alias Yogi, from Shimla.
Harjeet alias Jeeta, from Solan.
The PIT NDPS Act works fast. It jails repeat offenders before they strike again. No need to wait for slow trials.
No need to wait for new cases. But Himachal needs more than small steps. It’s time for big, bold action.
Money fuels this dirty trade. The PIT law hits cash flows. Properties are frozen right after detention.
Assets are seized within a year. But cutting the cash is just part of the war.
The real battle is against power shields. Dealers hide behind politics. Some are protected by high places.
This must end. Zero tolerance is the way. No mercy for offenders. No mercy for their protectors.
“Many stay below quantity limits to dodge big punishment,” said Shri Atul Verma, IPS, Himachal DGP. "The PIT Act shuts that door."
He is right. But the state must go all in. Break the money chain. Smash the power links. Finish this network, root and branch.
