In a significant breakthrough, the Patna Police have apprehended a notorious criminal listed among the district's top ten offenders. The arrest is linked to a firing incident that rattled a village in the Maner area last month.
Police Operation Nets Wanted Criminal
Acting on specific intelligence, a dedicated police team swung into action. The operation was led by the Maner Station House Officer (SHO) under the supervision of City SP (West) Bhanu Pratap Singh. Their target was Rohit Kumar, alias AD, a figure with a notorious reputation in police records.
The case dates back to December 20, when a firing incident was reported from Madhopur village in Maner. The police investigation into this event led them to pursue Kumar and his associates.
Sequence of Arrests and Recoveries
The police action unfolded over two days. On December 21, the team first succeeded in arresting another accused individual connected to the case. From this arrest, the police made critical recoveries, which included:
- A country-made pistol
- One live cartridge
- An empty shell
- A mobile phone
Following this initial success, the police intensified their search for the main accused, Rohit Kumar. Their efforts culminated in his capture from the Khagaul area, marking a major success for the law enforcement team.
A Blow to Organized Crime in Patna
The arrest of Rohit Kumar is seen as a crucial step in curbing organized crime in the region. Being listed among the top ten criminals in the district underscores the significance of this arrest. The police operation demonstrates a proactive approach based on tip-offs and swift raids.
Such actions are aimed at dismantling criminal networks and enhancing public safety. The recovery of illegal firearms and ammunition further prevents potential future crimes. The Patna Police's successful operation in this case is expected to send a strong message to other criminal elements operating in the area.
