Police attach assets of 100 wanted criminals | Patna News – Times of India
Motihari: In a bold action, the East Champaran police on Tuesday attached properties of 100 criminals who have been evading arrest for years despite court notices. The crackdown has caused panic among criminals, smugglers and mafias, marking a shift in the police’s approach.
Superintendent of police (SP) Swarn Prabhat said officers, armed forces and magistrates from 50 police stations simultaneously reached the homes of the wanted criminals in different villages. They arrived with JCB machines to attach their properties. “This is the first time in the history of East Champaran that 100 wanted criminals had their properties attached in a single day,” the SP said, highlighting the police’s commitment to restoring law and order in the district.
The operation drew large crowds of villagers, who witnessed the bold action being carried out by the police force. The move is seen as a major step in curbing criminal activities and maintaining peace in the region.
The impact of the police’s strong stance was evident as 14 wanted criminals surrendered voluntarily before the property attachment proceedings began. Among them was Dilsher Rai, who had a bounty of Rs 15,000 on his head. In total, 18 criminals from various police station areas, including Malahi, Harsidhi, Turkauliya, Mufassil, Chhatauni and Chhodadano turned themselves in.
In a recent review of long-pending cases, DIG of Champaran police range, Jayant Kant, and SP Swarn Prabhat took decisive action, ordering the arrest or property attachment of criminals. “We directed the police officers to identify assets acquired through crime, smuggling and illegal liquor trade and prepare a list for confiscation,” the SP said. The police are now intensifying their efforts against criminal gangs and people involved in the illegal liquor and narcotics trade along the border.
