The Madras High Court has appreciated Director General of Police (DGP) Shankar Jiwal and Greater Chennai Commissioner of Police Sandeep Rai Rathore for having decided to set up Specialised Investigation Wings (SIWs) in 12 police stations in the city to investigate serious offences such as murder, dacoity and robbery.
Justices M.S. Ramesh and N. Anand Venkatesh recorded their appreciation after State Public Prosecutor Hasan Mohamed Jinnah said, the SIWs would be established in Seven Wells, Royapuram, Basin Bridge, Taramani, Mambalam, Nandambakkam, Thousand Lights, Kilpauk, Abhiramapuram, Choolaimedu, Peravallur and Valasaravakkam stations.
The SPP stated that these 12 police stations in Chennai city would be in addition to the 11 Taluk police stations across the State and the entire Coimbatore Police Commissionerate where the SIWs had already begun to function on court directions and had shown noticeable difference in investigating heinous crimes.
