Cops to coordinate with Rajasthan counterparts

Rewari, November 20

State and Rajasthan policemen will carry out a joint operation, especially in their border areas, to nab most wanted criminals and proclaimed offenders (POs) of both states.

Even they will also share crucial information about criminals on a regular basis so that combined strategy can be mooted for tightening the noose round them.

A decision to this effect was taken at a coordination meeting of higher police officers of both states held in Behror town of Rajasthan’s Alwar district on Friday.

The meeting was attended by police officers from Haryana’s Rewari, Mahendragarh, Nuh and Gurgaon districts who discussed crime-related issues with their Rajasthan’’s counterparts from Alwar, Jaipur, Sikar and Bharatpur areas, said sources.

The sources said the rising incidents of loot and snatching on NH-8 (Delhi-Jaipur) were discussed in detail at the meeting and stress was laid on intensifying patrolling and setting up joint police nakas at border points at night to discourage criminals because crime was mostly perpetrated under cover of darkness.

“Yes, we have not only shared information about most wanted criminals and their modus operandi but also chalked out a joint strategy to prevent crime in border areas, besides arresting POs of both states,” said Rewari DSP (Hq) Gajender Singh, who was representing Rewari police.

Gajender said as most of the criminals in the state and Rajasthan used to escape to their neighbouring states after perpetrating the crime, joint efforts were needed to nab such criminals. For the purpose, details of most wanted criminals of both states were exchanged at the meeting, he added.
