A UP Police Crackdown unfolded across five cities and created strong pressure on criminal networks within just 24 hours. The UP Police Crackdown involved teams from local police units and the Special Task Force, who moved quickly to track wanted offenders. Their coordinated action led to encounters in Bulandshahr, Pratapgarh, Sitapur, Shahjahanpur and Meerut, where officers confronted and overpowered several suspects.
According to officials, more than ten criminals fell into police custody during these operations. Teams moved with clear intelligence inputs and acted before the offenders could escape or retaliate. The crackdown also included Operation Langda, through which the police arrested five more offenders linked with cases of robbery, extortion and repeat violence. Officers stated that the goal is to keep pressure on active criminal groups and prevent them from reorganising.
The sudden series of encounters sent a strong warning across the crime network in western and central Uttar Pradesh. Police teams continued checking hideouts, monitoring local routes and keeping surveillance on active gangs. The government has also strengthened coordination between city units so criminals cannot shift from one district to another for shelter.
Overall, the intensified action shows the state’s clear intent to create safer cities, reduce gang activity and respond quickly to rising crime threats.
