In a startling twist, a former National Security Guard (NSG) commando once hailed as a hero of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks has been unmasked as the mastermind of a major cannabis smuggling racket. The Rajasthan Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) identified Bajrang Singh, a decorated ex-soldier, as the ringleader of an interstate drug network. Arrest After Two-Month HuntBajrang Singh, who carried a reward of Rs 25,000 on his head, was arrested in Churu last Wednesday. His arrest followed "Operation Gaanjaney," a two-month-long investigation that involved technical surveillance, informers, and relentless pursuit across multiple hideouts. His seven-year tenure included high-stakes anti-terror missions, most notably the 2008 Mumbai attacks, where he fought armed terrorists inside the Taj Hotel.
