Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:
Criminals who were released from jail on bail in the last two months were warmly welcomed by their gangs on social media. Criminals were encouraged with posts and reels challenging the police. After that, Deputy Commissioner of Police Ratnakar Navale ordered to search for miscreants encouraging criminals on social media and take action.
Gangs involved in looting, attacks on civilians, attacks on traders and vendors in the city were taken into custody under MPDA and Mocca and sent to Harsul jail last year.
However, in the last two months, most of these accused were granted bail and released. In the last seven months, 921 criminals were released from the city and 547 from the district.
Even after being released on bail, they did not mend their ways. Some directly attacked the police, while others went on trips to tourist destinations, demanding extortion from traders. However, it is being expressed as a surprise that the police remained unaware of all this.
