In a major move against violent crime, SP Himanshu Garg led a late-night operation in Rohtak district, resulting in the arrest of a notorious criminal under the NSA Act. This marks the first such case in the state of Haryana, sending a clear message to criminals that disruptive and dangerous behavior will no longer be tolerated.
In a statement on Friday, Director General of Police Shatrujeet Kapur stated that the state government has established an advisory board under the National Security Act, 1980. This board aims to facilitate the prosecution of major criminals in Haryana by the Act's provisions. The action in Rohtak district is the inaugural move by the Haryana Police within this framework, sending a clear message to criminals that the police will not tolerate criminal activities. Kapur emphasized that such actions will continue in the future, targeting accused individuals under the Act.
SP Himanshu Garg of Rohtak District Police said that the Rohtak Police meticulously built a case against the accused under the NSA Act. The case was then submitted to the District Magistrate Rohtak, who, following orders, detained the accused under Section (3) 2 of the NSA and placed him in Rohtak Jail. The accused faces charges in 12 cases, including murder, attempted murder, gangrape, extortion, assault, criminal conspiracy, and illegal weapons possession in Rohtak, Jhajjar, and Gohana.
The accused has been involved in criminal activities since 2011, continuously committing crimes and influencing other youths to join criminal endeavors. Additionally, he was found spreading terror by posting photos with weapons on social media. Considering the imminent threat posed by the accused to the state, he was detained and jailed under the NSA Act. Garg affirmed that Rohtak Police will continue taking action under the NSA Act against criminals posing a threat to society in the future.
