Drug peddler arrested by Crime Branch

An alleged drug peddler, who carried a reward of Rs 25,000, was arrested by a Crime Branch team near the Dwarka court, police said today.

Dinesh Pal (32) was caught recently by the Crime Branch, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Alok Kumar said.

"He is a notorious drug peddler and was arrested earlier also. He was carrying a cash reward of Rs 25,000 on his arrest," he said.
