During the drive, police apprehended 284 individuals, including five proclaimed offenders who had been evading arrest. Authorities also recovered six weapons during the raids, which officials said would aid ongoing investigations into criminal activities and illegal arms possession.
Punjab Police stated that the campaign has yielded significant results since its launch, with total arrests under the anti-gangster initiative reaching 37,216. The force noted that continuous enforcement operations, intelligence gathering, and inter-agency coordination remain central to its strategy for tackling organized crime.

Citizens have also been encouraged to assist law enforcement by sharing information related to criminal activities through the state’s Anti-Gangster Helpline, which allows anonymous reporting.
