ACP Manzil Saini, who joined the service barely 6 months ago, speaks to DNA
MORADABAD: The Moradabad Police has found its Miss Marple in an assistant superintendent of police who tirelessly hunted for leads in the kidney case and executed the raid on Dr Amit Kumar’s illegal hospital in Gurgaon. Meet Manzil Saini, who joined the service less than six months ago and has already become a name to reckon with.
In fact, two weeks after the case was cracked, exploits of the lady officer find more listeners than the startling revelations made by prime accused Dr Upendra Agarwal.Daughter of a serving ACP in the Delhi Police and a physics graduate from St Stephens in Delhi, Manzil began her career as a marketing manager in a private firm but gave up the job to prepare for the civil service examination. “I wanted to do something more meaningful,” she said in an interview to DNA. By then, she was married with a two-and-a-half-year-old son. She cracked the civil services and joined the IPS in the Uttar Pradesh cadre. “I completed my training in September last year and joined the ranks in Moradabad in October last year.”
Three months later she cracked one of the biggest cases in recent history. “It wasn’t all that big when we began.”
On January 22, a constable from the Civil Lines police station rounded up three men who had been fighting with each other near Moradabad railway station. One of them, Ghiazuddin, told the police that he was a kidney supplier and had obtained the kidneys of the two men. The trio were fighting because Ghiazuddiin had failed to get a job in Meerut for the two men. “The information left us shocked. But we were looking for the big fish. Who was Ghiazuddin supplying the kidneys to? We registered an FIR and arrested Ghiazuddin?” recalled Saini. Ghiazuddin revealed Dr Upender’s name and agreed to lead the police to him.
He called up Dr Upendra and told him that four pappus — the syndicate’s slang for a kidney seller —had been picked up from Meerut. “Four of our constables disguised as labourers to accompany Ghiazuddin to trap Upender,” said Manzil. The meeting was fixed for the next day, January 23, at Meerut.
But Dr Upendra did not come. For the next two days he promised to meet Ghiazuddin at Mohan Nagar in Ghaziabad, then near AIIMS in Delhi and again in Mehrauli. But he did not turn up.
On the night of January 24, he asked Ghiazuddin to come to Palam Vihar in Gurgaon. Manzil went to Gurgoan with the decoy candidates and two sub inspectors and trapped Dr Upender.
That’s when Dr Upendra began talking about some hospital in Gurgaon and all hell broke loose. “The case suddenly became big. We had a small team and had no idea that the racket was flourishing on such a mammoth scale. On the advice of my senior SP Prem Prakash we informed the Gurgaon police and they registered a case,” said Manzil. That was two weeks ago.
