Haryana Police’s ‘Operation Track Down ‘: ₹168 Crore in Illegal Assets Identified

Gurugram tops in the state, Organised Crime, Gangs and Drug Networks Crushed Across the State.

Chandigarh: In one of the most sweeping and aggressive crackdowns in recent years, Haryana Police’s state-wide अभियान ‘Operation Track Down’ has delivered a crushing blow to organised crime, local gangs and repeat offenders across the state. In just 22 days, police have arrested 7,587 criminals, including 3,066 hardened offenders now behind bars and 4,521 additional accused caught during follow-up raids.

The масштаб and speed of the operation underscore the government’s zero-tolerance policy against crime. Officials said the campaign was launched with a single goal — to uproot criminal networks from their very foundations and dismantle gang ecosystems operating across Haryana.

“This is not a routine police drive. This is a decisive strike against organised crime and habitual offenders. No criminal will be allowed to operate with impunity in Haryana,” a senior official said.

Gurugram Tops the State

Millennium City Gurugram emerged as the best-performing district in the entire state, delivering a near-perfect operational success rate. Police here identified 305 hardened criminals, out of which 304 were arrested, achieving an extraordinary 99.99% success rate.

• 304 hardcore criminals arrested
