A major operation in the Seraikela district led to the arrest of AJSU leader Harelal Mahato and his driver. The arrests came after a warrant was issued by the Seraikela court. This warrant stemmed from their alleged involvement in a case of illegal sand mining in the Tiruldih area. Both individuals had reportedly missed scheduled court appearances, which resulted in the warrant for their arrest.
The court had been actively pursuing the case against Mahato and his driver. Specifically, they had failed to attend multiple hearings. Because of their repeated absences, the court issued the arrest warrant, compelling police to act. Law enforcement swiftly carried out the court’s order and took both men into custody.
These arrests are part of a broader effort to combat illegal mining in the area. This type of activity has become a major concern for local authorities. The focus of this particular case is the alleged unlawful removal of sand from the Tiruldih area. It highlights a larger problem of environmental misuse.
A police official confirmed the arrests were made strictly following the court’s order. This underscores that the action was based on legal procedure. The situation emphasizes how failing to attend court can have serious consequences, like being arrested. The court is expected to schedule a hearing soon to decide the next steps in the case.
