In a significant crackdown on criminal activities, the Patna Police successfully apprehended three individuals in two separate operations conducted on Saturday night. The raids resulted in the seizure of illegal firearms and a substantial quantity of illicit liquor, marking a decisive action by the law enforcement authorities in the region.
Fugitive Apprehended in Bihta Operation
The first major breakthrough came from the Bihta police station area. Acting on intelligence, a police team raided Parev village and managed to arrest a fugitive criminal identified as Krishna Yadav. This was not Yadav's first encounter with the police; he had previously managed to escape during an earlier raid. This time, however, the police team successfully nabbed him. From his possession, officials recovered a country-made pistol and a spent cartridge, highlighting the serious threat he posed.
Duo Arrested for Flaunting Firearms on Social Media
In a parallel and equally critical operation, the Paliganj police unit arrested two individuals for brazenly brandishing weapons on social media platforms. The accused, named Sarwan Manjhi and Arun Manjhi, were taken into custody. Their social media posts, which showed them flaunting firearms, prompted immediate police action. The raid on their premises led to the confiscation of a country-made pistol and approximately seven litres of illicit, locally-made liquor.
Ongoing Investigations and Police Statement
The Patna Police have confirmed that the interrogation of all three arrested accused is currently underway. These coordinated raids underscore the police's proactive stance against the illegal arms trade and the menace of illicit alcohol in the district. The recovery of weapons and liquor from individuals with a history of evasion or a tendency to glorify crime on public platforms points to a determined effort to curb lawlessness. Such operations are crucial for maintaining public order and safety in the region.
The successful execution of these raids on Saturday night demonstrates the effectiveness of police intelligence and swift action. The authorities continue to investigate the wider networks possibly linked to these individuals to dismantle any larger operations involving illegal arms and liquor.
