67 songs promoting organised crime removed from digital platforms in Haryana

Terming the action a crucial step taken in the interest of society and the younger generation, Director General of Police (DGP) Ajay Singhal said that the objective of Haryana Police is not merely to stop crime but also to save young people from stepping into the world of crime.

He said the crackdown against gang culture and the glorification of weapons and violence was carried out by the special task force (STF) and cyber unit of Haryana Police and that this operation has reshaped the digital space.

During investigation, the STF and cyber teams found that several songs were influencing youth, glorifying gangsters, and portraying an unrealistic image of luxury associated with criminal life. “Responding to this alarming trend, Haryana Police acted against 67 objectionable songs available on platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, Gaana, and JioSaavn. As a result, most of the content has either been removed or blocked,” the DGP said.
