A safe hunting ground for outside criminals

HISAR: Owing to its geographic conditions, Haryana has become a safe hunting ground for criminals from neighbouring states. Data collected by police suggests that outlaws, mostly from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi, find it convenient to commit criminal activities in the state and then cross over to their respective states before the police swings into action.
Confirming this, IG Hisar, Anant Kumar Dhull, said, ���In a sizable number of cases, criminals from other states enter Haryana and then slip into their own state after committing crimes. In Haryana the number of most wanted criminals from other states is particularly large.���
Out of the total most wanted criminals in the state 42% belong to other states. To be precise, 97 out of the 230 criminals wanted by of Haryana police belong to other states. While Sirsa, Fatehabad, Hisar, Mahendergarh, Rewari and Gurgaon share their boundaries with Rajasthan, Yamunanagar, Karnal, Panipat and Sonipat have proximity to Uttar Pradesh and Rohtak, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Sonipat fall in the NCR region. Sirsa, Fatehabad, Jind, Kaithal and Ambala are on the Punjab border too. Uttar Pradesh residents top the list with 44 most wanted criminals, Delhi comes next with 21, Rajasthan 9, Punjab 8, Bihar 7, West Bengal 1, Himachal Pradesh 1 and Madhya Pradesh 1. Besides these states, five criminals from Nepal are also in the most wanted list of Haryana police.
