Police mock fugitive liquor smuggler with ₹1 reward in Narsinghpur:44 boxes of liquor seized, cops struggle to nab criminal; turn to citizens for assistance

Narsinghpur Police has placed a reward of just one rupee on a fugitive accused of liquor smuggling. The reward is only one rupee. SP Rishikesh Meena has thoughtfully set this amount. On January 9, 2026, Narsinghpur’s Kareli police station received information from an informer that illegal liquor was being transported from Gadarwara to Narsinghpur in a Thar vehicle. Police set up a blockade. Seeing this, the driver tried to escape by turning the vehicle, but after chasing for about 200 meters, the police stopped the Thar. 44 boxes of liquor seized from vehicle
When police searched the Thar, they recovered 44 boxes, or about 396 liters of country liquor. Police arrested Surendra Lodhi and Salim Khan from the spot, but the mastermind of this business, Dhanraj Lodhi, managed to escape. Police exhausted searching every location
For about a month, police searched for Dhanraj at every possible location but couldn’t catch him. Tired and defeated, SP Rishikesh Meena has now placed a reward for his arrest. That too is just one rupee. The SP has also said that whoever provides information about Dhanraj, their identity will be kept confidential. 14 cases registered against accused
SP Meena said that a total of 14 cases are registered against Dhanraj. These include cases of gambling, assault, and liquor smuggling. He is the main kingpin of the illegal liquor trade in Themi, Station Ganj, Suatala, and Tendukeda police station areas. Each time he picks up liquor from different areas.
