Modahi, accused for his involvement in the land-grabbing racket in Lalung Gaon, Lakhra, is currently admitted to GMCH under police guard.

The incident unfolded during a joint operation by the Crime Branch and Basistha police station, as they conducted searches led by apprehended individuals in pursuit of other accused persons.
