Crackdown on crime: Bihar Police to seize assets, 400 files submitted to court

Bihar Police submit 400 criminal asset seizure cases to court while launching women officer patrols with 2,000 scooters for school safety.

"Women police officers will now patrol all schools and colleges. For this purpose, the police department is purchasing 2,000 scooters this year. - DGP Vinay Kumar"

Patna, Nov 27

Criminals involved in illegal activities in Bihar are set to face strict action as the state police have intensified its crackdown on unlawfully acquired assets.

The Bihar Police have started compiling detailed records of criminals to confiscate their illegal property, and the process will soon gather pace.

Bihar Director General of Police Vinay Kumar informed the media on Thursday that to curb criminal proceeds, the police have already prepared a complete dossier of 400 individuals and submitted it to the court. The court is currently reviewing these cases.

He further said that 1,200 to 1,300 more individuals have been identified, and documents related to them are being prepared.

These individuals include members of the land mafia, sand mafia, criminals, and those involved in other forms of illegal trade who are suspected of acquiring property through unlawful means. Their files will also be submitted to the court soon.

Responding to questions about women’s safety and measures to prevent molestation incidents, the DGP announced a major initiative: “Women police officers will now patrol all schools and colleges. For this purpose, the police department is purchasing 2,000 scooters this year.”

“Using these scooters, women police officers will patrol during the arrival and dispersal timings of schools and colleges. Strict preventive action will be taken against any miscreants,” DGP Kumar said.

The initiative comes after Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and newly appointed Home Minister Samrat Choudhary announced on Tuesday that his priority would be to strengthen and expand the good governance model initiated by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Emphasizing strict monitoring outside educational institutions, Samrat Choudhary said the police will keep a close watch on those engaging in harassment or “Romeo-like” behavior near schools and colleges.

A special force will be deployed, and targeted campaigns will be conducted during school hours to ensure that incidents of molestation are prevented.

The women police patrol initiative near schools and colleges is a much-needed step. As a mother of two daughters, this gives me some peace of mind. The 2,000 scooters for women officers is a practical solution. Hope this implementation is effective on ground level.

Good initiative but I hope this isn't just another political announcement before elections. We've seen many such promises that never materialize. The real test will be whether these criminals actually lose their illegal properties or if they find loopholes.

The term "Romeo-like behavior" monitoring seems problematic. While safety is important, we need to ensure this doesn't lead to moral policing or harassment of genuine couples. The focus should be on actual criminal behavior, not consensual relationships.

400 files already submitted and 1200-1300 more identified? That's a huge number! Shows how deep-rooted the problem is. This crackdown should send a strong message that crime doesn't pay in Bihar anymore. Jai Bihar! 💪

As someone who has lived in Patna for 5 years, I can say these measures are long overdue. The sand mafia particularly has been operating openly. Hope this brings some relief to honest citizens and businesses.
