Gurugram Police Scan 2,000 Social Media Profiles in Operation Ankush Against Gun Culture
Gurugram police launched Operation Ankush to curb the promotion of gun culture and criminal activities on social media. They scanned around 2,000 profiles, identifying 42 linked to weapon displays and 17 promoting gangs or criminal behavior. Authorities deleted objectionable content, detained users, and registered FIRs under the Arms Act after seizing illegal weapons. Licensed arms shown in videos led to license cancellation processes. Counseling sessions were also held to raise awareness about the societal impact of such content.
