Mathura Police Apprehend District-Banned Individual in Mant

Mant, September 12, 2026: Authorities in Mathura have taken a significant step toward maintaining local order following the arrest of a man found violating a formal district-ban order. On the night of September 11, 2026, the Mant police station team apprehended an individual identified as Karan, alias Karanveer, who had been officially barred from entering the district by administrative authorities earlier this year. The arrest occurred at approximately 8:55 p.m. directly in front of the suspect’s residence in village Hend Khand Jabra, located within the jurisdiction of the Mant police station.

Details of the Administrative Ban Violation

The suspect, Karan alias Karanveer, who is approximately 25 years old and the son of Overan, had been subject to a formal expulsion order issued by the District Magistrate. This order, registered under case number 1291/25 under Section 3(1) of the Uttar Pradesh Control of Goondas Act, mandated that he stay outside the district boundaries for a period of six months. Local police had officially served the notice and ensured his removal from the district on April 21, 2026. However, reports indicate that Karanveer defied this judicial and administrative instruction, re-entering the area well before the designated period of his ban had expired.

Police Action and Investigation

The apprehension was the result of coordinated surveillance and a tip-off provided to the local police unit. Acting on intelligence that the suspect had returned to his home, the police team conducted a raid in the village of Hend Khand Jabra. Upon confirming his presence, the officers took him into custody without incident. Following his arrest, the Mant police station registered a new case against him under FIR number 218/2026, invoking sections 3 and 10 of the Uttar Pradesh Control of Goondas Act, 1970. This specific legal provision pertains to the violation of orders imposed upon individuals identified as threats to public tranquility under the state’s anti-goonda regulations.

Criminal History and Background

Law enforcement officials have confirmed that this is not the suspect’s first interaction with the criminal justice system. The official record provided by the Mathura police lists an existing criminal background for Karan alias Karanveer. In addition to the current violation, he is implicated in at least two other registered cases. These include case number 266/2024, filed under Section 3/25 of the Arms Act, and a more recent case, number 258/2026, filed under Section 303(2) and 317(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). These records illustrate a pattern of activity that led to his initial classification for the district-ban order earlier this year.

The Apprehending Team

The operation was conducted by a specialized team from the Mant police station, demonstrating the administration’s continued focus on monitoring individuals who have been formally restricted from the district. The team responsible for the arrest was led by Umesh Kumar, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Maanth. He was supported by Sub-Inspector Vijan Singh and Sub-Inspector Sanjeev Kumar. Following the arrest on the night of September 11, 2026, the suspect was processed at the station, where legal proceedings were initiated in accordance with standard operating procedures for those breaching district exile orders. The police continue to monitor the area to ensure full compliance with all outstanding administrative directives intended to protect the security of local residents in the Mant region.
