The Uttar Pradesh government has shared a comprehensive report regarding the efforts made under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to enhance law and order since 2017. The initiative outlines significant actions taken against organised crime and criminal networks, emphasising the achievements of the Uttar Pradesh Police.

According to the official figures released, the UP Police have been involved in encounters that led to the deaths of 303 criminals. Additionally, a total of 12,202 individuals were reportedly injured during various police operations since March 20, 2017. The unwavering campaign against wanted criminals has resulted in the apprehension of 23,601 individuals who were on the police wanted list and were carrying cash rewards.

Seizures and Legal Actions Against Criminal Elements

The UP Police have initiated stringent legal actions under the Gangsters Act, targeting a total of 87,835 individuals. Furthermore, 995 criminals have been charged under the National Security Act (NSA). As a result of actions taken under the Gangsters Act, property and assets valued at Rs 152.33 crore have been confiscated. In a broader context, assets worth Rs 15,233 crore linked to various criminal and mafia entities have been seized throughout the state.

In a focused effort to combat organised crime, measures have been taken against 68 identified mafia figures at the state level, along with their associates. The targeted operations have led to the registration of 909 cases and the arrest of 651 individuals, as part of a concerted push to dismantle these networks.

The UP government asserts that the establishment of cybercrime police stations in all 75 districts has been a significant step forward. Through these initiatives, law enforcement has managed to freeze funds totalling Rs 874.58 crore, reinforcing their commitment to combatting cyber-related offences.

Chief Minister Highlights Progress Since 2017

During the flag-off ceremony for 87 Interceptor Vehicles equipped with advanced technology, the Chief Minister indicated that Uttar Pradesh was historically held back in various sectors, including economic growth and technological advancements. He acknowledged the difficulties faced by law enforcement personnel in the past due to a lack of decisive political leadership.

Adityanath added that the past issues have been addressed, and significant reforms have been undertaken to improve policing. As part of these reforms, more than 1.4 million surveillance cameras have been installed in urban areas. The establishment of Integrated Command and Control Centres in every district has also contributed to a newfound identity for law enforcement in the region.
