In a high-stakes operation, Jodhpur police apprehended notorious drug smuggler Jasraj, who had a bounty of Rs 10.10 lakh on his head. The IG of Jodhpur range, Vikas Kumar, revealed that 63 cartridges of 9 mm pistols, typically exclusive to police and military use, were confiscated.

Operation MONA also saw the seizure of two modified vehicles, which the accused reportedly used for narcotics smuggling. Alongside Jasraj, two mechanics involved in vehicle modifications were taken into custody, according to the police.

Kumar noted that Jasraj, previously a mere driver, had evaded capture in several smuggling and police shooting cases. A tip-off led police surveillance on his wife, which eventually resulted in his arrest. All three suspects are currently undergoing interrogation.
