The sweeping drive, conducted by 848 personnel, targeted organised gangs involved in extortion, armed crime, drug trafficking, robbery and snatching across Delhi–NCR.
In back-to-back two encounters, three gang members of the infamous Om Prakash-Kala Jathedi syndicate were apprehended by the Delhi Police, police said on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann unequivocally said on Sunday that gangsters, smugglers, criminals, and other anti-social elements have no place on the sacred land of Punjab and that they would soon be wiped out from the state.
Three active members of the Tillu Tajpuriya-Parvesh Maan gang have been arrested along with the seizure of firearms, Delhi Police said on Monday.
This marks a significant change in the Punjab Police's approach to dealing with seasoned criminals, particularly gangsters. Apart from the execution of two gunmen, Maanu Kussa and Jagroop Roopa, in the Sidhu Moosewala homicide case, there have been sporadic reports of run-ins with gangsters
No anti-social element, including drug smugglers, could get away from the naka being headed by Khanna Police Anti-Narcotic Cell In-charge Jagjiwan Ram, said an official spokesperson.
Raids are held to dismantle and disrupt the emerging nexus between terrorists, gangsters, drug smugglers and traffickers based in India and abroad.
During the course of investigation, it came to the fore that all the accused had hatched a conspiracy to carry out terrorist activities in the country including the National capital.
The idea behind conducting these operations is to instill a sense of safety and security among the common people, said DGP Gaurav Yadav.
Yadav also ordered CPs and SSPs to prioritise the arrest of all the proclaimed offenders (POs), bail jumpers and absconders of NDPS cases.
