Delhi Police has introduced new BNS sections to tackle a 16% increase in gang‑related crime cases across the city.
Delhi Police has announced the use of new BNS (Bureau of Narcotics and Smuggling) sections following a 16% rise in gang‑related crime cases reported in the capital. The move aims to strengthen law‑enforcement capacity against organized street gangs that have been increasingly active in the city.
The new sections will focus on intelligence gathering, coordinated raids, and swift prosecution of gang members. Police officials said the updated legal framework will enable quicker action and better evidence collection.
The decision comes after a review of crime statistics that highlighted a significant uptick in gang‑linked incidents, prompting the force to adapt its strategy. Authorities expect the new measures to curb gang activity and improve public safety.
Delhi Police has urged the public to report any suspicious gang activities and assured that the new BNS sections would be implemented with full transparency and accountability.
