The demolition comes a day after Meerut commissioner’s court, while rejecting an appeal, gave its green signal to raze the complex
MEERUT: An eerie silence prevailed over Meerut s Punjabi Pura locality as dozens of heavily armed police personnel swiftly moved through its narrow bylanes on Thursday morning. All eyes were fixed upon one gate in a narrow lane that held the distinction of being pasted with several sheets of administrative orders right from sealing to demolition.
This was the entrance to the exquisite palatial bungalow of Uttar Pradesh s most wanted criminal Badan Singh Sandhu, popularly known as Baddo, a 48-year-old fugitive who cops haven t been able to nab ever since he escaped from police custody 18 months ago. With over 30 cases at various police stations in the state, he carries a reward of Rs 2.5 lakh on his head.
