When Yogi Adityanath came to power in Uttar Pradesh last year, he had much mission. Cracking down criminals was definitely one among them. According to official data released by Uttar Pradesh police, there were 1144 encounters from March 20, 2017, to January 31, 2018, in the state, in which 34 criminals were killed and 2744 were arrested.
Tables have turned since Yogi Adityanath has assumed the charge of Uttar Pradesh chief minister. Adityanath government has given police a 'free hand' to deal with the criminals. The UP chief minister had said that police will have full freedom to deal with rising crime rates in the state and asked criminals to either surrender or leave the state.
For many years, mafia, drug dealers and crimes dominated the police files in the state. But in less than a year, the police showed no mercy in eliminating these hooligans and liberate Uttar Pradesh from the dark world of crimes.
