The drive, lasting over eight hours, led to significant discoveries of illegal power connections, with over 100 cases traced, officials said.
Superintendent of police (SP) K.K. Bishnoi said, "We have uncovered significant power theft in these areas, with electricity being supplied through illegal connections to entire neighbourhoods."
"In some cases, the electricity is being provided from makeshift power connections atop a mosque minaret," he said. The police are identifying all those involved and profiting from these illegal connections.
"Action will be taken under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act if any material benefits are being collected using unlawful means," Bishnoi said.
He said that resistance from certain areas during drives in the past prompted authorities to seek police support for the operation.
