Police Deploy Special Teams
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior police officer stated that multiple special teams have been deployed to track down the individuals named in the FIR. The officer confirmed that the suspects have not yet been located, and the investigation is ongoing.
“We have formed dedicated teams to trace the absconding quarry owners. They are working round the clock, but we cannot disclose specific operational details at this stage,” the officer said.
Details of the Case
The FIR was filed on July 1, 2026, against several quarry owners in connection with alleged illegal mining activities and violations of safety norms. The police have not yet revealed the exact number of suspects or their identities, citing the ongoing investigation.
Local residents had earlier complained about environmental damage and safety hazards caused by the quarry operations, prompting the police action. The case has drawn attention to the regulation of quarries in the region.

The continued absence of the suspects has raised questions about the effectiveness of the initial investigation. Police have assured the public that they are using all available resources to apprehend the accused.
“We are coordinating with other law enforcement agencies and using technical surveillance to locate them. We urge anyone with information to come forward,” the officer added.
