As per the district police’s report card released on the eve of the Independence Day, Gurugram police said it had arrested 72 proclaimed offenders, and 32 accused who had jumped bail, in the last one month. The drive was started on July 16.

Besides, 85 firearms, including countrymade pistols, and 33 cartridges were seized from them.

Gurugram ACP (Crime) Preet Pal Singh Sangwan said: “We have arrested 75 drug smugglers or suppliers in the district and registered 73 FIRs against them. A few women were also found involved in selling or transportation of contraband.”

As many as 89 accused were arrested in the last one month on the charge of illegal possession or supply of firearms,” Sangwan said.

“During investigations in a majority of cases, bad characters, history-sheeters, proclaimed offenders, bail-jumpers were by and large found involved in crimes in the district.
