With tension over posters of Uddhav Thackeray and Aurangzeb that briefly surfaced in Mahim, the city police amplified its monthly crackdown on crime to weed out “anti-social elements”, on Saturday night. Led by the commissioner and other senior officers, the cops combed out 955 individuals involved in drugs, theft and other cases, and also made fresh arrests, police said.
Speaking with mid-day, Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar reassured the public that all necessary measures have been implemented to safeguard the city. “Mumbai police are putting forth extensive efforts to apprehend criminals and guarantee the safety and security of the people of Mumbai,” he said.
