Ahead of the 72nd Republic Day, the Mumbai Police in order to keep a check on criminal activities in the city undertook ‘Operation All-Out’ on the intervening night of January 23-24.
Under the initiative, raids, combing exercises, nakabandis, road checks and searches were carried out in Mumbai. As a result, the city police arrested 349 offenders including 52 abscondings and ‘wanted’ criminals, while 59 accused others involved in non-bailable offences.
Moreover, 66 people were arrested under NDPS act while 33 were found with weapons during their arrest. Their weapons were seized. The combing operation carried out at 223 places and found 349 suspects allegedly involved in the mobile, chain, two and four wheeler theft cases as well as those persons who had been banished from the city but had returned on the sly.
Apart from this, 739 hotels and lodges were checked and 31 people were arrested for violating externment orders against their names, reports suggested.
