Report : Rohit Kumar

IPS Amit Kaushik (DCP Special Cell) and Special cell officers joined DCP Sanjay Kumar in his campaign “HUNT”

Recently, a surge in the criminal activity of organized gangs was noticed. Since then, the Special Cell has been working relentlessly to pursue these crime syndicates in order to avert the dangerous situation that poses a threat to the law and order of the city. During the course of hunting down the crime syndicate barons, a large network of intelligence was invoked, and teams were briefed and deployed strategically for dismantling the nefarious network of dreaded gangs which are being operated from foreign based gang leaders and the ones lodged in jail.
During this drive to neutralize the threat posed by organized gangs, monitoring was done through technical means to identify the means of communication since most of the surge in these criminal activities has its origin through foreign soil and generate potential intelligence. It was noticed that Gang leaders who have settled abroad in supposedly safe heavens or incarcerated in different jails recruit juveniles and/or young boys without prior records or involved in minor cases to avoid detection. Social media and popular songs glamorizing gang life attract more youth to join their gang members lodged in different jails in India or settled abroad. The gangsters usually lure these youths with immature minds in incidents of firing and even murders and later dump them for they easily manage to find more such youth available for exploitation.
