Ranchi: The capital police conducts raids on information regarding buying and selling of brown sugar, but is unable to find out the entire network of this business. As a result, whenever the police arrests a youth or a gang involved in this business and sends him to jail, the suppliers of brown sugar set up another network.
Because the supplier network has not collapsed, the brown sugar business is flourishing in various police station areas of the capital. Here, the police files the chargesheet in the case only after sending the arrested accused to jail. Police took action against brown sugar suppliers in various areas of the capital like Sukhdevnagar and Argora police station area. On January 11, Argora police had arrested a large network of sellers of brown sugar. In which, the accused had confessed that they also bring and sell brown sugar from Jamshedpur and Kolkata. But, the police did not find out about the active network here. In this case, the police investigation was limited to Chatra’s network only.
