Armed robberies and snatching incidents have become a major concern in Chhattisgarh, especially in urban centers like Raipur and Bilaspur. The rise in gang robberies has also left many citizens feeling unsafe, as groups of criminals target people on the streets, often using weapons and force. In these incidents, personal belongings such as smartphones, bags, and cash are frequently stolen. Some robberies even involve dangerous situations where victims are harmed or threatened with violence. These crimes are becoming more brazen, with some taking place in broad daylight in busy markets or residential areas.
Law enforcement agencies in Chhattisgarh are working hard to crack down on these incidents, often collaborating with neighboring states to track criminal syndicates operating across regions. In addition to increased police presence in crime-prone areas, the government has been promoting public awareness campaigns on safety measures, encouraging individuals to stay vigilant. Community members are being urged to report any suspicious activity, which could lead to identifying perpetrators and reducing these crimes.
