Now in Bihar, along with arresting and punishing the criminals, their illegally earned property will also be confiscated. The huge property accumulated due to criminal activities will be identified and confiscated. All the districts have been asked to identify such criminals and send the list. This information was given by ADG (Headquarters) Kundan Krishnan in a press conference held in the auditorium of the Police Headquarters on Tuesday. He said that there is a provision in the Indian Justice Code (BNS) to confiscate the property of professional criminals. The property of such criminals is on the radar of the police. Action will be taken against them soon. He said that district-wise dossiers of notorious criminals are being prepared. So far, the STF has prepared a database of 3 thousand Naxalites or people involved in Naxalite activities, besides 4 thousand criminals of all the districts. Action will be taken on this basis.

Reiterating that Bihar Police's zero tolerance policy is being strictly followed, the ADG said that the masterminds of the recent robbery incidents at Jiva Jewellery shop in Danapur near Patna and Tanishq showroom in Arrah have been found to be two notorious criminals lodged in Purulia jail in West Bengal. These include Prince alias Chandan and Sheru. Bihar Police will soon take them on remand for interrogation. Some suspicious electric equipment has also been found in the search of the cell of these two criminals lodged in Purulia jail. Many evidences related to robbery have been found in their investigation. In some other such incidents, the involvement of some old notorious criminals lodged in jail has also come to light. Such criminals will be identified and action will be taken.

He said that the number of youths from Vaishali and Arrah is high in carrying out robbery incidents in the state. Some mafia or old notorious criminals sitting in jail are misleading these youths and taking them on the path of crime. They are making gangs of these youths and making them commit crimes. The parents of the youths should also be cautious about their children.

He said that the mastermind of the Ara robbery case, Chunmun Jha, was killed in a police encounter after the incident.
