Operation Gang Bust: Over 500 arrested in Delhi Police's 48-hour crackdown


New Delhi : Delhi Police have launched a 48-hour-long intensive crackdown against gangs and organised criminals under 'Operation Gang Bust', which resulted in the arrest of more than 500 criminals linked to multiple networks.

The operation was conducted simultaneously across multiple districts with the objective of dismantling active gang modules, curbing violent crime, and preventing inter-gang rivalry, officials said.

During the operation, police teams carried out raids, searches, and targeted actions at identified hotspots and hideouts of gang members and their associates. Several habitual offenders and those on the run wanted in cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion, robbery and arms offences, were captured, police said.

Senior officers closely monitored the operation, directing district and specialised units to ensure coordinated action and swift execution. The operation aimed at sending a strong message to gangsters and criminal elements operating in the city, police said.
