Gujarat Police Complete Audit of “Anti-National” Suspects, Launch Second Phase to Locate Remaining Individuals
Ahmedabad, November 25, 2025 – The Gujarat police have concluded a comprehensive statewide audit of individuals previously booked for “anti-national” activities over the past three decades, Director General of Police Vikas Sahay announced Monday. The verification drive, initiated in response to recent terror-related incidents, has provided law enforcement with an updated understanding of the whereabouts and status of individuals with past records of serious crimes.
According to police records, 31,834 people were booked over the last 30 years under laws related to terrorism, arms, narcotics, explosives, petroleum products, and fake currency. The audit successfully located 11,880 of these individuals at their addresses listed in case files. Sadly, 2,326 were confirmed to have passed away.
“During our exercise, we created a database of 31,834 persons who were booked for serious crimes related to the Arms Act, NDPS Act, possession of explosives and petroleum, fake Indian currency related cases and terrorism related cases in the last 30 years. A thorough check was conducted at the local police station level. Of these, 11,880 were found present during this verification,” said Mr. Sahay.
The remaining individuals who could not be located will be the focus of a second phase of the operation. “We will move to a second phase for the ones who were not found. An SOP will be prepared and all units will be instructed to trace their present whereabouts and activities,” said DGP Sahay. He initiated the verification on November 17, shortly after the Gujarat ATS arrested three persons for allegedly plotting a terror attack, a development linked to a subsequent counter-terror operation in Faridabad and a blast near Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10.
Unit heads have been instructed to conduct a detailed review of the current status of the located individuals. Local police have interviewed the 11,880 people who were traced and have begun preparing dossiers on them. The exercise also revealed that some individuals on the list now reside outside of Gujarat.
