Overview

• West District Special Staff conducted an early-hours raid at a Vishal Enclave residence based on specific intelligence.
• Officers recovered about 3,580.4 kg of firecrackers stored across the home, including the kitchen, as the stock was being repacked for sale.
• Sushil Kakkar, Upasana Kakkar, and Shivam Kakkar were arrested and booked under the Explosive Act and sections 125 and 288 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Rajouri Garden police station.
• Investigators say the consignments were sourced from Meerut, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad for high-profit resale in Delhi despite the Supreme Court ban, and they are tracing the wider network.
• DCP Darade Sharad Bhaskar said the seizure enforced court directions and likely averted a large fire hazard in a densely populated neighborhood.
