Punjab: Govt to target bail bond brokers in crackdown on drug offenders
To strengthen legal measures against drug-related crimes, the Punjab government has decided to arrest individuals who repeatedly sign surety bonds for those charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. District police have been instructed to identify individuals who have signed surety bonds for more than two cases involving drug-related offences, with such individuals now facing arrest. (HT) The new move pushed by the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF), aims to curb the growing trend of people facilitating bail for drug offenders through a business model. District police have been instructed to identify individuals who have signed surety bonds for more than two cases involving drug-related offences, with such individuals now facing arrest. 'It has been observed that signing bail bonds has become a business for certain individuals at the judicial complex level. This makes it easier for drug offenders to arrange witnesses for their bail,' said an ANTF official, explaining the rationale behind the move. Under the law, a surety is typically a relative or friend of the accused who guarantees payment if the individual fails to appear in court. The law mandates that a surety must be an Indian citizen with a fixed place of residence. However, concerns have been raised about the increasing number of individuals who sign surety bonds as a business. According to a Punjab government legal officer, the law allows a person to sign a surety bond in only one case. 'It has come to light that some people are exploiting the system by charging hefty amounts to sign surety bonds for repeat drug offenders, who often struggle to find supporters,' the law officer revealed. A recent analysis by the ANTF found that some individuals have signed bail bonds in as many as 10 cases. This has raised concerns about the integrity of the legal process, especially in drug-related cases. A senior official from the ANTF said: 'When a relative or friend signs a bail bond, there is a sense of social pressure on the accused not to reoffend. But when sureties are paid, the accused may feel no pressure to change their behaviour.' Authorities say that in addition to targeting repeat surety signers, the government is exploring other measures to strengthen the legal framework and plug loopholes that drug offenders have been exploiting. This crackdown is part of the Punjab government's broader efforts to tackle the state's growing drug problem. The state's 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' campaign, launched on March 1, has seen the registration of 12,341 FIRs and the arrest of 20,180 accused individuals over the past four months.

‘Rs 20 lakh stolen in 60 seconds': Thieves in South Delhi drive away parked car after hacking its security system, video goes viral
Thieves hacked the security system of a car parked outside a house in South Delhi's Safdarjung Enclave on June 21 and drove away with the vehicle in less than a minute. The car's owner, Rishab Chauhan, uploaded the CCTV footage of the alleged theft that took place at 4.50 am on his social media page with the title 'Rs 20 lakh stolen in 60 seconds', and it soon went viral with over three million views. The footage shows a car pulling up next to Chauhan's top-end variant Creta, worth over Rs 20 lakh, and a man stepping out to break the glass window at the driver's side before leaving. Moments later, the same vehicle returns, and a man with a face mask and holding a tablet-like gadget hacks the Creta's security system. Within seconds, he opens the door without a key, and drives off with the vehicle that was reportedly only six months old. 'Hi, my Hyundai Creta got stolen in 60 seconds on 21st June 2025. As can be seen in this video that I took from my CCTV camera, the CRETA is no longer safe outside. Its security system has been hacked or leaked and can be bypassed in 60 seconds,' wrote Chauhan on Instagram. A post shared by Rishabh Chauhan (@421sweetdevil) Chauhan also shared a screenshot of the police complaint registered and stated that the Delhi Police have launched an investigation into the incident. Chauhan, in his video, expressed surprise that such a theft could occur in the upscale locality he lives in, especially since the police heavily barricade the area at night to prevent thefts and untoward incidents. The police told The Indian Express that the district's Anti-Auto Theft Squad is looking into the theft and will tap into known networks of car thieves to identify the suspects. 'The machine that the suspects used to unlock the car is generally used by mechanics when car owners have lost their keys,' explained Amit Goel, Deputy Commissioner of Police, South West. 'It is used to make duplicate keys in a matter of seconds and car thieves generally smuggle these machines to use in robberies,' he added.
