During the operation, police teams from 33 police stations across Nagpur inspected a total of 305 suspects. Many of those checked had serious criminal records. The breakdown of suspects is as follows:
- Externed criminals (Tadipar): 103

Some suspects were found to be absconding or not present at home during inspections. Police have initiated further action to trace them. Fresh cases were registered against several individuals, while others are currently under investigation.
Police teams conducted door-to-door visits during the operation. In some instances, accused individuals were found using false names. A few claimed to be ill and undergoing medical treatment, while others stated they were employed in government services such as water supply, education, patrolling, and power distribution.
Interestingly, some of the suspects appeared to be regular citizens from the outside, but their activities were found to be suspicious. Further action is planned in such cases. Additionally, individuals found to be active on social media are also being closely monitored.
Police Commissioner Dr. Singal has assured that such special drives will continue in the future to maintain law and order in Nagpur. He also issued a stern warning stating that no one involved in promoting criminal activity will be spared.
