Dhanbad Police's SSP Prabhat Kumar Cracks Down on Organized Crime, Arrests Notorious Gang Members

Dhanbad: After four months of assuming charge, SSP Prabhat Kumar has injected new momentum into Dhanbad Police’s anti-crime operations. Acting on a series of complaints related to extortion and firing incidents, including at a petrol pump in Rajganj under the Topchanchi police station, the law keepers intensified surveillance on criminals and the activities of notorious gangster Prince Khan.Following sustained monitoring and intelligence gathering, police launched a coordinated operation and arrested 12 members of Khan’s gang from different parts of Dhanbad and Jamshedpur last week. The arrested criminals were paraded before the media during a press conference at the SSP’s office on Sunday, where their involvement in extortion and organised crime networks operating in the coal belt were spelled out.The SSP emphasised that the arrests were part of Dhanbad Police’s “zero tolerance policy” against crime, which has started yielding visible results. The crackdown has weakened the network of Khan, whose gang was previously known for threatening businessmen and extorting money across the region, Kumar said.In a significant follow-up action, police arrested a notorious criminal, Bhanu Manjhi, considered to be a close associate of Khan, in the early hours of Tuesday after a gunfight.

The proactive and aggressive policing under SSP Prabhat Kumar has drawn appreciation from residents and traders of the coal belt, who said the recent actions have restored public confidence and marked a turning point in Dhanbad’s fight against organised crime.
