Police took strict action on the ruckus in the assembly siege, miscreants being identified through CCTV footage.


The violent demonstrations and disturbances that took place during the recent assembly siege in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, have raised many serious questions on the security arrangements. After the incidents of protesters breaking barricades and pelting stones at the police force, the administration is now in full action mode. Taking this incident very seriously, the police administration has intensified the search for the miscreants. According to the latest information, the police has registered an FIR under named and unknown sections against about 300 youths involved in the siege. Now it has become difficult for the miscreants to run away to escape the clutches of the law, because the police teams are scanning the CCTV cameras and video footage present at the spot. In this digital age, preparations to reach the culprits through facial recognition have created fear among those who had taken law into their hands under the guise of peaceful protest.

Identification is being done through CCTV footage, miscreants are not well

According to police sources, high-definition CCTV cameras installed around the assembly complex have captured every moment of the violence. Special technical teams have been formed to analyze these footage, which are busy identifying the rioters. The police have a clear message that peaceful protest is the constitutional right of every citizen, but going on a rampage, damaging public property and attacking security forces is an unpardonable crime. This action of the police is not just a show, but is being done on the basis of evidence, so that the culprits can be punished in the court. The videos and drone footage going viral on social media have also been made a part of the investigation, due to which it seems impossible for any accused to escape. In the investigation so far, many such faces have been identified who were instigating the crowd, and their arrest will be ensured soon.

FIR against 300 youth, clouds of crisis on future

This FIR against more than 300 youths involved in the assembly siege can also cause trouble for their future. If your name appears in any criminal case, there can be huge hindrances in government jobs and tasks like passport verification. Police officials say that they tried their best to maintain restraint during the protest, but when the matter got out of hand and police personnel were attacked, following the law became their first priority. The administration has also appealed to the families of all those youth to keep their children away from such violent disturbances, because a small mistake can become a lifelong stigma. This incident has emerged as a big lesson in the political and social environment of Jharkhand, where now those challenging the law and order will have to face strict legal consequences.

Political reaction and tight security arrangements

A round of allegations and counter-allegations continues among political parties on this incident. While on one hand the opposition says that this is an act of repression of the youth, on the other hand the ruling party argues that there is no place for violence in democracy. Keeping in mind the security of a sensitive area like the Assembly, the district administration is now preparing to implement even stricter protocols for future protests. The deployment of security forces has been increased at major intersections and assembly road of Ranchi so that any such untoward incident can be prevented again. The state government has also made it clear that miscreants will not be spared under any circumstances, no matter which party or organization they are associated with. More arrests are possible in the coming days, because the police administration has a clear objective to maintain the peace and order of Ranchi at all costs.
