Uttarakhand has become a safe haven for criminals of Western Uttar Pradesh who find this himalayan state extremely safe to conduct their criminal activities such as decoity  and extortion.

Having no background verification these hardened criminals easily sneak in the peaceful himalayan state and not only take refuge here but also conduct their undesirable criminal activities clandestinely.
If one goes into the detail of the cases of enhancing criminalism and decoity, extortion, murder etc the statistics reveal a shocking trend of spurt in criminal acts which was too low a decade ago or more.
The increasing activities of legal and illegal land sales, illegal mining activities and emergence of builder and land mafia in the state has seen spurt in criminal activities in Uttarakhand especially in the state capital and in towns n cities.
The recent nabbing of some hardened criminals by the Uttarakhand  police in Dehradun have amply illustrated the increasing arbitrary activities of criminal gangs in and around Dehradun resulting in alleged insecurity amongst the businessmen and residents.
As per the news pouring in, on 24th June, four hardcore criminals riding on two separate motorcycles shot a petrol pump owner on his shoulder injuring him grievously and snatching his bag full of currency.
The incident pertains to the Prem Nagar area at Dushehra ground, Petrol pump in Dehradun where the Pump owner was grievously injured after he was fired upon and his bag snatched by two motorcycle borne asssailants.
There was total sensitisation in the area after this decoity. The IG of Garhwal region and the SSP Dehradun visited the spot of crime and formed five separate police teams.
These five separate teams under the charge of the SHO’s of various police stations baricated the entire roads and exit points of  the city and the rural areas giving no chance for these hardened criminals to flee.
The local police machinery also activated their intelligence units and “Mukhbirs” to seek valuable information about the possible hideouts of the criminals.
The vehicle going out of the city and inter city movement were actively put under police radar with checking of all vehicles undertaken intermittently.
After seeking succesful leads the police finally raided a flat at Thakurpur Sai Vihar in Dehradun outskirts on 26th June and arrested the three hardened criminals involved in this shoot out.
The police also unearthed two local pistols, some bullets and one lakh seventy five thousand rupees in cash.
The names of the culprits are  Kamendra alias Bulla, Dipin Kumar and Rohan.
After thorough interrogation by the police the culprits revealed about their modus operandi saying that they had been meticulously  planned the operation for the last fortnight and finally executed it on 24th June.
Giving details about their crime the arrested criminals disclosed that on 24th June they carrying fully loaded local pistols came near the petrol pump on their two motor bikes and after the pump proprietor alongwith cash in the bag drove his car they followed him.
As soon as he turned his car at the narrow street near the petrol pump at Prem Nagar, Dushhehra Ground they fired on him and took the bag containing cash.
The Uttarakhand police deserves all appreciation for resolving the case in mere 48 hours by nabbing the criminals n putting them behind bars.
