In a major step towards enhancing public safety and curbing criminal activities, the Bihar Police has initiated a statewide crackdown on crime, focusing on major cities like Patna, Gaya, and Muzaffarpur. The operation, designed to address increasing crime rates, targets criminals involved in theft, extortion, organized crime, and drug trafficking. The aggressive approach aims to restore law and order, improve public confidence in law enforcement, and ensure the safety of citizens. This initiative reflects the state police’s commitment to improving security and tackling the challenges posed by crime in urban areas.
Details of the Crackdown:
The Bihar Police’s crackdown began with an extensive intelligence-gathering operation that identified key hotspots for criminal activity. These included areas known for a high incidence of gang violence, robbery, and drug-related crimes. The operation involved coordinated raids, increased patrolling, and undercover operations aimed at disrupting criminal networks operating within the cities.
Key criminal activities being targeted include:
- Organized Crime: Criminal gangs involved in extortion, smuggling, and other illicit activities.
- Drug Trafficking: The growing issue of drug trafficking and abuse in urban centers.
- Street Crimes: Crimes like pickpocketing, theft, and assault, which have been on the rise in crowded markets and transport hubs.
- Violent Crime: Including gang wars, extortions, and other violent acts threatening public safety.
The police have arrested several suspects and seized illegal weapons, narcotics, and stolen goods. High-tech surveillance methods, including drones and CCTV cameras, have also been used to monitor criminal activity and ensure the swift deployment of police forces in critical areas.
