There was an uproar in the political and criminal circles of Uttar Pradesh when the police finally tightened its grip on the vicious criminal who openly threatened to kill and break the leg of Nandkishore Gurjar, the flamboyant BJP MLA from Loni assembly seat of Ghaziabad. SOG and local surveillance teams of Uttar Pradesh Police, carrying out a very dramatic and intelligence operation, have achieved great success in arresting the criminal Haji Salman, who had a declared bounty of Rs 25,000, from Chittorgarh, a historical and remote district of Rajasthan. The entire police department was on alert mode ever since the MLA received the threat and rapid raids were being conducted from Uttar Pradesh to other states to arrest the accused. This strict action by the police seems to be demoralizing the criminals, and this case has once again become an example of the fact that anti-social elements challenging the law and order will not be spared.
That high-profile case of publicly threatening the MLA which shook the entire administrative system
This entire sensational episode started when Loni’s popular MLA Nandkishore Gurjar and his supporters were given an open threat of death and breaking of his leg in very indecent language through a phone call or other means. After receiving such a serious threat to a public representative like an MLA, there was a stir in the political corridors and administrative headquarters from Ghaziabad to Lucknow. There was a lot of anger among the MLA’s supporters and party workers regarding the fact that if such bullying and hooliganism is done with the elected representative of the people, then what will be the condition of the safety of the general public. With increasing political pressure and the credibility of law and order becoming a question, the police administration placed this case on its top priority list and formed several special police teams to search for the accused, whose only goal was to put the accused behind the bars at any cost.
Police surveillance technology and intelligence operation of SOG team continued till Chittorgarh, Rajasthan.
Uttar Pradesh Police made best use of its modern technical capabilities and traditional informer system to catch the absconding criminal Haji Salman carrying a bounty of Rs 25,000. As soon as the technical branch of the police got the clue that the accused had changed his location and was hiding somewhere outside Uttar Pradesh in Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan, a special team of SOG immediately left for Rajasthan. These brave policemen of Uttar Pradesh, with the help of the local police administration of Chittorgarh, as part of a secret plan, cordoned off the area where Haji Salman was hiding. By the time this vicious criminal, who thought himself completely safe, realized that the police had reached him, it was too late and after being surrounded from all sides, he had no other option but to surrender.
Zero tolerance policy against criminals and the meaning of this success of Ghaziabad Police
After this much-discussed arrest, Uttar Pradesh Police officials have heaved a sigh of relief and given a clear message that there is no place for mafias and criminals who threaten any public representative, businessman or common citizen in the state. Working on the policy of ‘Zero Tolerance’, the police is continuously engaged in breaking the back of such elements who want to create an atmosphere of fear and panic in the society. The arrest of the main accused in this case of threatening MLA Nandkishore Gurjar proves how long the hand of the police is, no matter in which corner of the country the criminal tries to hide. Now the police is bringing the accused to Ghaziabad on transit remand, where during his interrogation, there is every possibility of many more big revelations about other faces hidden behind this conspiracy and his criminal history.
