In a major crackdown against active gangs involved in various crimes, the Gurugram police have arrested 200 members of 80 gangs, between January 1 to December 13 this year. While revealing the data, police said a number of 406 cases were also registered against them, and Rs 3.67 Crore were also recovered from their possession.
“The arrested accused were mainly involved in robbery, house-breaking, theft, vehicle theft, snatching, ATM fraud, murder and others. The Gurugram police’s crime branch teams and police station teams work hard to nab these criminals and recover huge amounts from them” Vikas Arora, Commissioner of Gurugram Police, said.
Meanwhile, police said a special drive was initiated against these criminals at the direction of the Gurugram Police Commissioner. Many among the apprehended offenders, were evading arrest for a long time. “We identified such offenders by collecting data from courts, sources and other inputs to keep an eye on the movements and activities of the criminals and anti-social elements. We believe such elements can be a threat to the city and disrupt law and order situation or execute any crime,” Varun Dahiya, ACP (Crime), said.
He said that such operations against the Proclaimed Offenders (POs), bail jumpers and as well as other dreaded culprits will be continued in future to further ensure a sense of security and safety among the people. Dahiya said that specific information and public cooperation are very important when it comes to tackling and preventing crime.
