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
Director General of Police Ajay Singhal stated the campaign aims to prevent crime. It also seeks to protect young people from being misled by such content.
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
STF Inspector General Satheesh Balan revealed police efforts to engage creators. They are discouraging the glorification of violence and gangster lifestyles.
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.
Balan explained the dual approach of controlling online content and neutralizing organized crime. This strategy has strengthened internal security in Haryana.
The police continue their efforts to curb gang influence. They remain vigilant against content that threatens public safety and youth well-being.
