Punjab police reported 303 arrests in statewide anti-gangster operations on October 2. Yes Punjab and Desh Click reported the police account of 617 raids by district teams working with the Anti-Gangster Task Force.

The force said one weapon was recovered, preventive action was taken against 190 people and seven proclaimed offenders were apprehended. The published account does not establish that these categories are mutually exclusive; they should not be added together as a single arrest total.

Friday was the 255th day of the Gangstran Te Vaar campaign. In a separate anti-drug update, police reported 106 arrests. The sources do not establish how many unique individuals the two campaigns involved.

These are police-reported enforcement figures, not convictions or independently verified findings that everyone detained is a gangster. The accounts reviewed did not provide individual case outcomes or responses from those arrested.
