India, April 16 -- BAREILLY In a crackdown on crime, the Bareilly police have opened history sheets for 31 notorious criminals, including convicted terror-linked accused Inamul Haq and 27 individuals involved in meat smuggling. The move aims to intensify surveillance on repeat offenders and maintain law and order across the district.

Haq, allegedly affiliated with the banned terror outfit Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, was arrested in 2020 from the Kathghar area. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a special ATS court last year and has been lodged in Lucknow jail for five years. Anticipating the potential threat after his eventual release, SSP Anurag Arya ordered the opening of his history sheet to facilitate future monitoring.
