Haryana Police has taken decisive action against gang culture by removing 67 songs from digital platforms. The police targeted content that glorifies gangsters, weapons, and criminal lifestyles.
Extensive Investigation Uncovers Harmful Content
The Special Task Force and Cyber Unit conducted a thorough investigation. They found songs promoting organized crime on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, Gaana, and JioSaavn.
These songs often portray criminals as role models. They hide the harsh realities of criminal life and the suffering it causes families.
Protecting Youth from Misleading Influences

Singhal urged artists and creators to act responsibly. He emphasized that glorifying violence pushes youth toward criminal activities.
Monitoring Social Media Activity
Authorities have issued a warning about social media behavior. Individuals who like or share such content will be closely monitored.
This monitoring is part of the ongoing crackdown on gang culture. The police want to deter the spread of harmful material online.
Engaging with Content Creators

Balan highlighted the societal harm caused by such material. He stressed the importance of responsible content creation.
Strengthening Internal Security
The crackdown follows intelligence-based operations last year. Those operations exposed modules involved in terror-linked activities.
Seizures included grenades and firearms. These findings show the depth of criminal networks in the state.
