In a swift response to a citizen's alert, Zirakpur police have detained six young men who were found roaming under suspicious circumstances in the area. The action was triggered by an emergency call received on helpline number 112, prompting immediate police intervention.
Emergency Call Triggers Police Action
The incident unfolded when a concerned resident contacted the emergency helpline 112 to report the presence of unknown youths behaving suspiciously in their locality. Acting promptly on this information, a Police Control Room (PCR) team rushed to the spot identified by the complainant.
The PCR team located and intercepted the group of six young men for questioning. During initial interaction, the youths displayed evasive behavior and showed reluctance in disclosing their personal identities, raising further suspicion among the police officials.
Identification and Verification Process
Due to their uncooperative attitude and the suspicious circumstances of their presence, all six individuals were taken to Zirakpur police station for proper verification and identification. After thorough investigation, police established their identities as:
- Rohit Kumar from Sector 83
- Jaspreet from Sector 82
- Jotis from Sector 82
- Vikas from Amb Sahib Colony, Phase 11
- Vishal from Sector 66A
- Satyam from Sector 66A
Police officials confirmed that the suspects had initially concealed their names and addresses and failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for their presence in the area during nighttime hours.
Legal Action Under New Criminal Law
Considering their consistent evasive behavior and the suspicious context of their activities, Zirakpur police have formally booked and detained all six youths under Section 172(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The case represents one of the early implementations of the new criminal law in the region. Police authorities have confirmed that interrogation of the detained individuals is currently ongoing to determine the actual purpose behind their suspicious movements in the area.
This incident highlights the effectiveness of the emergency helpline system and prompt police response in maintaining public security. Local residents have appreciated the quick action taken by Zirakpur police based on their alertness.
