A.P. police fast-tracking probes into crimes against women committed by rowdy-sheeters, says DGP

The Andhra Pradesh police are taking measures to check anti-social activities in the State. The DIGs and the Superintendents of Police (SPs) have been directed to conduct regular counselling and track the movement of criminals, said Director General of Police K.V. Rajendranath Reddy.

“We are verifying cases registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and crimes against women in which criminals are involved,” said Mr. Rajendranath Reddy.

During a meeting held with the SPs recently, the DGP directed the officers to track the movements of the rowdy- and history-sheeters and those who were booked under the Preventive Detention (PD) Act, and externed from the districts.
