To enhance public safety, the Delhi Police externed more than 1,100 habitual offenders in 2024 under Sections 47 and 48 of the Delhi Police Act. This move aimed at displacing individuals engaged in recurring criminal activities, making it difficult for them to operate within their known networks.
The externment orders, applicable to individuals involved in theft, robbery, and organized crime, were enforced through stringent monitoring. Authorities have reported a significant decline in criminal incidents in high-risk zones, reinforcing the effectiveness of this policy.
