The sting operation which lasted for two weeks has yielded desired results. Jitendra Mohanlal Katanmal alias Rajubhai (39), a notorious red sanders smuggler, has been arrested in Mumbai on Tuesday. Cops have succeeded in tracing him based on the information collected from few arrested Red Sander Smugglers.

Chittoor Task Force Police have detected a 5 tonne red sandalwood under the possession of Rajubhai. Assets worth Rs 400 crore belonging to Rajubhai have been detected in Mumbai. He was brought to Madanpalle by afternoon and sent to remand.

Rajubhai has been involved in red sanders smuggling since 2003. He had links with Dubai-based red sanders kingpin Sahul Bhai and supplied over 1,000 metric tonnes to the Arab Nation in the containers meant for veggies & other eatables. Rajubhai used to receive Rs 10 lakh as payment per tonne and all the money transactions were done through Hawala.
