VIJAYAWADA: The city police organised a counselling session for rowdy-sheeters and suspects in South Zone on Wednesday. The police detained as many as 44 rowdy-sheeters and suspects, including a woman.
The police are collecting all the information pertaining to suspects, including their phone numbers, present and permanent address. If the suspects failed to produce identity cards, fingerprints are being taken and iris scanning is done.
Law and Order DCP Kranthi Rana Tata said: “We have intensified the identification of anti-social elements to check the crime rate in the city. We are also organising cordon and searches, foot marches and operation night safety in various police station limits. We are in the process of updating police records with the latest details of crime suspects.”
If any of the history-sheeter crossed the age of 60 years with good behaviour, we will remove the rowdy-sheet against him. The police are also planning to rehabilitate the blade batch members and other history-sheeters to prevent them from indulging in crime, he said.
