Dhanbad Police Launches Major Crackdown on Prince Khan Gang
Police in Dhanbad launched a large-scale operation against the notorious gang led by Prince Khan early Monday morning. The coordinated crackdown began around 5 am with simultaneous raids conducted in several parts of the city.
Targeted Action Against Gang Associates
The police action specifically targeted Prince Khan's close aides, associates, and individuals allegedly providing him with financial and logistical support. According to authorities, over a dozen locations were raided simultaneously in sensitive areas including Wasseypur, Pandarpala, and Bhuli.
The operation is being led by both the SP (city) and SP (rural), reflecting the seriousness of the drive. Several DSP-rank officers, along with a large contingent of police personnel and security forces, were deployed to ensure the raids were conducted effectively and without resistance.
Detailed Raid Operations Across Multiple Locations
In Pandarpala's Bhattha Mohalla, police teams conducted a raid at the residence of land dealer Mohd Kaish. Another team searched the house of fruit trader Wasim in the Pandarpala area. In Wasseypur, police inspected a fruit shop located at Ara More, allegedly linked to the same individual, and also raided the house of Babu Khan in the Gulzarbagh locality.
The searches were carried out meticulously with officers examining documents, financial records, and other materials suspected to have links to the gangster's operations. During the raids, police detained Nadeem Khan and Shah Rukh, both reportedly associated with animal trade. Their alleged role in supporting the gang is currently under investigation.
Police Confirms Detentions and Document Seizures
Confirming the operation, SSP Prabhat Kumar said four individuals were taken into custody so far and are being interrogated. He also revealed that several land-related documents were seized during the raids.
The SSP further stated that police have identified several businessmen and influential individuals who are suspected of providing financial assistance to Prince Khan. "Such elements will not be spared. The action against the gang and its support system will continue," he asserted.
Notably, a few days ago, SSP Prabhat Kumar had publicly warned of strict action against so-called "white-collar" individuals supporting Prince Khan. This latest operation appears to be the implementation of that warning, targeting not just the gang members but their entire support network.
