Nine individuals were arrested by the Chandigarh Police, including the offenders and absconders, in a coordinated operation to enforce court directives and tighten the noose around habitual lawbreakers. The arrests were made by the PO and Summon staff of the Chandigarh Police, under the direction of the SSP, UT Chandigarh, supervised by Deputy SP Vijay Singh (DCC), and executed by Inspector Sher Singh, Incharge, PO & Summon staff.
According to the police, the operation led to the arrest of two offenders in state cases, six proclaimed offenders in cheque bounce matters registered under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, and one accused wanted in execution of a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW). All accused were produced before the concerned courts, where some were remanded to judicial custody while others were granted bail or released on bonds.
