Largest Ever Police Encounter: Encounter news is not new for Indians. We regularly read about encounters in Uttar Pradesh and other states. There have been many big encounters in the country. However, yesterday was one of the biggest encounters in history, in which at least 64 criminals were killed by the police. However, some police personnel also lost their lives in this operation. This event happened thousands of miles away, not in our country.

In fact, at least 64 people were killed in the largest police operation against organized crime in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Tuesday. Security officials said four Brazilian police officers were among the dead, according to a CNN report. The operation was concentrated in the northern areas of the city, particularly the Alemao and Penha complex favela areas, which are dominated by the criminal organization known as Commando Vermelho (Red Command). Rio de Janeiro Governor Claudio Castro said at a press conference that police seized a large amount of drugs during the operation.

Officials claimed on social media that at least 42 rifles have also been recovered. In a post on X on Tuesday afternoon, Castro described the operation as the largest in Rio de Janeiro’s history. The state government said in a lengthy thread on X that the operation had been in the making for more than a year to counter the territorial expansion of Commando Vermelho, which involved more than 2,500 military and civilian police officers. Commando Vermelho is Brazil’s oldest active criminal organization, inspired by the Red Command, an organization of leftist prisoners imprisoned during the military dictatorship that lasted until 1985.
