Nagpur: City police chief Amitesh Kumar during the monthly crime conference earlier this week asked the senior officers to conduct ‘surgical strikes’ on criminals in the city. Faced with a sudden spurt in murder rate, the police have already launched this year’s first ‘Operation Crackdown’ under which which police stations have checked 4,876 criminals while crime branch has swooped upon 506 goons.
Preventive actions were initiated against 1,521 anti-social elements in the last few days. In the latest action, dreaded gangster Diwakar Kottulwar, named in past murder cases, has been nabbed. Various categorization of the criminals have been made like ‘Top-10’, ‘Top-20’ and so on for focused action.
Kumar has also made it a point that murders of goons by their rivals, as happened in Shanti Nagar last week, should not be repeated. Police station in-charges have been instructed to lead action against known criminals.
