Punjab Police Launches 'Operation Prahaar' Against Gangsters, Detains Over 1300
Punjab Police has initiated a major statewide crackdown, 'Operation Prahaar,' following Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann's vision for a 'gangster-free Punjab.' The 72-hour operation, announced by DGP Gaurav Yadav, primarily targets 60 foreign-based gangsters operating networks within the state. On the first day, over 2000 teams comprising approximately 12,000 police personnel conducted raids, leading to the detention of 1314 suspected associates and accomplices. Special DGP Arpit Shukla confirmed that those detained are being interrogated to dismantle their criminal connections and future plans. The police have also launched a dedicated anti-gangster helpline (93946-93946) and urged public cooperation, assuring anonymity for informants. The objective is to completely dismantle the ground network of these organized crime groups.
