The recent arrest of 10 members of a family in Santosh Nagar, Dindoshi, Mumbai, has brought relief to residents grappling with ongoing issues of drug peddling. The arrests followed a communal clash triggered by objections to a song during a religious procession, escalating into violence when the accused allegedly attacked procession members with swords. Residents reported that drug addicts frequently lined up outside the family's home to buy drugs, creating a sense of insecurity, particularly for women. The family, led by siblings Ajju and Shabbo, has been involved in drug sales since 2014, expanding their operations and intimidating locals. Political figures, including Sanjay Nirupam from the Shiv Sena and Sanjay Avhad from the BJP, have intervened, demanding the invocation of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and the demolition of illegal structures associated with the family. Despite police assurances of maintaining peace, residents remain concerned about the family's history of aggression and potential retaliation upon their release from custody.
