Mohali police conduct operation CASO in Peer Muchhalla societies
Mohali: As part of its ongoing crackdown on anti-social elements, the police conducted a massive cordon and search operation under operation CASO in various residential societies of Peer Muchhalla on Sunday morning.
The operation was carried out under the directives of DGP, Punjab, and SSP Mohali. Over 350 police personnel were deployed for simultaneous checks across multiple societies, including Pink City, Royal Mansion 2, and Metro Town, between 6:30 am and 9:00 am.
Mohali SP Manpreet Singh, who led the operation, said the action was part of a broader campaign to weed out anti-social elements and ensure public safety. "During the search, special attention was paid to suspicious individuals, vehicles, and unattended items.
Vehicles that appeared to be parked for extended periods were verified to rule out any criminal activity," said the SP.
Inspector Jashanpreet Singh, in-charge of Dhakoli police station, confirmed that no suspicious objects were recovered during the operation. However, eight individuals were detained for verification from various societies. "They were later released after questioning, as nothing incriminating was found against them," he said.
The police have assured residents that such surprise checks will continue in the coming days to build a sense of security in the area and prevent the harbouring of criminals in residential spaces. The police have also urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station.
