Big action after a long time
The action of Mandsaur police is limited to career only. Due to this, the district has become a haven for big smugglers. Smugglers are deeply entrenched in the politics here too. Leaving aside isolated cases, after a long time, action has been taken against the big smuggler Harish Anjana of Mandsaur district.
During the overnight interrogation, Harish Anjana also took the name of Lala of Rajasthan, who used to bring MD from Bhopal and later supplied it to Harish and others. The local police had no idea about it. The police have registered about 180 cases in the district and have made 300 accused in them, but most of them were careers. They were sentenced on average to 5 to 10 years. Not a single big smuggler has been punished.
