Jalandhar police has taken action against the home owners who had not followed due process of law and got verification of tenants done. Jalandhar police registered 4 FIRs under section 223 BNS,2023 against 4 owners, who did not comply with the orders passed by the office of CP Jalandhar and arrested them in said FIRs.
Two FIRs are registered at PS Div No. 5, one FIR is registered at PS Bhargo Camp, and one FIR is registered at PS Basti Bawa Khel, Jalandhar.
The Commissioner of Police explained that this action is needed to remove the illegal tenants living in the city unchecked as they often commit crime in the city or sometimes with the owners and run away. It is hard to catch them because of the absence of any their records.
The Commissioner of Police has also urged the residents of the city and sought their cooperation to get the verification of their tenants done for their own safety and security from these anti-social elements through Sanjh Kendras. Failing to do so may lead to strict action them for not complying with lawful orders. He has also warned that this process would be further intensified throughout the city and that defaulters would have to face the strict actions.
