Commissioner Singhal has directed that background checks must be done before employing anyone, especially in sensitive roles. During the operation, police teams visited the residences of the accused to collect intel—some were found at home, while others were reportedly out of town.
Commissioner’s Warning:
A strong message has been sent across the criminal network. Special attention is being paid to “dark zones” in the city. “Criminals should think twice before committing any offense, or they will face strict legal consequences,” warned Commissioner Singhal, adding that the goal is to instill fear of the law and ensure public safety.
