Kolkata Police delivered a strong message to criminals by arresting six men tied to dual theft episodes. The operations synced with Commissioner Supratim Sarkar’s field assessments of citywide law and order.
A team from Gujarat—Anil Ramju Salat, Dhiru Kalo Salat, Samir Salat, and Raju Kumar—fell into custody in Hastings, courtesy of Lalbazar’s Watch Branch. Wanted since a January 14 Jorasanko police report, their month-long hideout ended abruptly.
In another stroke, Park Circus police collared Entally duo Muhammad Shahnavaz (Sunny) and Muhammad Samir over a cab theft reported at Girish Park on January 20, involving phones, money, and more.
Fresh from ordering intensified patrols in busy hours during a crime meet, Sarkar hit the roads himself Saturday. His oversight amplified efforts, culminating in these captures from crimes a month old.
These developments signal heightened police resolve in Kolkata, where thefts challenge daily life. Ongoing probes promise deeper insights into criminal patterns, bolstering community trust in law enforcement.
