In a significant breakthrough, the Shahpur police in Patna district successfully apprehended a notorious criminal from a local high school premises. The arrest is part of an intensified drive targeting the most wanted offenders in the region.
Police Operation Nets Wanted Criminal
Shahpur police arrested Sunny Kumar, who also goes by the aliases Chhote Sarkar and Satya Raj. The operation was conducted at a high school located in Gangahara. Upon his capture, the police team recovered a country-made pistol and four live cartridges from his immediate possession, preventing potential violence.
Tip-Off Leads to Successful Capture
The arrest was not a random event but the result of precise intelligence. City SP (West) Bhanu Pratap Singh confirmed on Monday that the action followed a specific tip-off. This operation falls under a sustained campaign aimed at cracking down on the top 10 criminals active within the Danapur subdivision. Sunny Kumar, a resident of the diara area in Gangahara, had been evading law enforcement. His fugitive status was due to three separate cases already registered against him at the Shahpur police station.
Ongoing Campaign Against Top Criminals
This arrest underscores the police department's commitment to curbing organized crime and ensuring public safety in Patna. The focused campaign on the most notorious criminals sends a strong message to other lawbreakers. The recovery of illegal arms and ammunition from a school area also highlights the proactive steps taken to secure public spaces from such threats. The police continue their investigations linked to the three pending cases against the arrested individual.
