In a proactive move, the Mauli Jagran police in Chandigarh have successfully apprehended two individuals found in possession of knives from separate locations within the city. The police action is believed to have thwarted potential criminal activities the duo was allegedly planning.
Details of the Arrest and Accused
The police have identified the arrested persons as Ravi, a resident of Mauli village, and Vishal, also known as Bhindi, from Vikas Nagar in Mauli Jagran. Acting on intelligence and vigilance, the police teams intercepted the two men before they could carry out any unlawful act. The recoveries of knives from their possession formed the basis of the legal action against them.
Legal Proceedings Initiated
Following the arrests, the authorities have registered two separate First Information Reports (FIRs) under the stringent Arms Act. This legal step underscores the seriousness with which the police are treating the possession of weapons with alleged criminal intent. After the necessary procedures, both accused were presented before a local court in Chandigarh.
The court, after reviewing the initial police report, has ordered that both Ravi and Vishal be remanded to 14 days of judicial custody. This period will allow for further investigation into their motives and any possible connections to other criminal activities.
Police Statement on Preventive Action
According to the police officials involved in the case, the timely intervention was crucial. They stated that both accused were in the planning stages of committing criminal acts. The police's ability to apprehend them before the execution of any crime highlights a focus on preventive law enforcement, aiming to maintain public safety and order in the Mauli Jagran area and wider Chandigarh.
This incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts by Chandigarh Police to curb street crime and the illegal carrying of arms. The swift legal action following the arrests demonstrates the established protocol for dealing with such threats to public security.
