Chandigarh [India], December 3 (HBTV): Haryana Police's massive state-wide Operation Trackdown, launched on November 5, has delivered a decisive blow to criminal networks across the state, an official release said.
The special drive, initiated to strengthen law-and-order enforcement, has reported significant results up to November 21, prompting authorities to extend it by another week. So far, police have arrested 1,439 notorious, wanted, and serious offenders, along with 3,127 other accused, bringing the total to 4,566.
On November 21 alone, police apprehended 47 notorious criminals, including several most-wanted offenders. Additionally, 293 other accused were arrested the same day, underscoring the rapid pace of the crackdown. Police also opened 17 new history sheets to maintain close surveillance on habitual offenders.
In a major development, the Crime Branch, Sector-10, arrested two notorious criminals — Sumit and Sanjeev alias Sanju — involved in a gold chain-snatching case reported on November 17 in Sector-45, Gurugram.
Sanju faces 11 criminal cases, while Sumit has 10 cases, including attempted murder, robbery, snatching, and Arms Act violations. Police believe their arrest will help curb snatching incidents in the region.
Another breakthrough came with the arrest of Manish alias Goga (28), a notorious criminal with 20 serious cases against him. Wanted for firing at a youth near Sector-21 and issuing death threats, Goga was arrested by the Crime Branch, Sector-17, near the Dwarka Expressway. His criminal record includes murder, attempted murder, extortion, kidnapping, and gang-related activity.
With 5,251 arrests made so far under Operation Trackdown, Haryana Police maintain that their aggressive and strategic action will make the state significantly safer in the coming days.
