On Taking Charge, Bihar Home Minister Announces Anti-Mafia Drive, Jail Curbs and Pink Patrols

Choudhary says property seizures plus demolitions will follow court orders, with deployments and patrol upgrades still at proposal stage.

Overview

  • Samrat Choudhary said police have identified 400 alleged mafiosi whose illegally amassed assets are slated for seizure subject to judicial approval.
  • He stated that homes of criminals could face demolition under court-sanctioned orders as part of a zero-tolerance push on organised crime.
  • Jail oversight will tighten to halt illicit mobile-phone access, with outside food limited to medically prescribed cases to curb syndicate operations.
  • The state will step up social-media monitoring to check abusive or provocative posts and will pursue cases involving cybercrime.
  • Special Task Force units are planned for every district with efforts to ensure ATS presence, and anti-Romeo or pink patrols will cover campuses, with the DGP proposing scooties for narrow-lane patrols.
