Daijiworld Media Network-Bantwal (RJP)

Bantwal, Jul 2: "We will not spare the miscreants, no matter where they are hiding now. We will bring them to books, by attaching their properties,” said IGP (Western Range) Harishekaran on Saturday, July 1.

He was speaking in the peace-meet organized at Town Hall here by Dakshina Kannada police department.

“The number of trouble makers constitutes 0.01% in the society. But they are cancerous. They need proper and strong treatment. We are competent to do that. We will not harass the innocent. But suspects will always be interrogated. We are checking the database of trouble makers and analyzing their past and present. Using special modus operandi, we will apprehend those who create trouble with the aid of social media.” he added.

“The offices of crime department and additional superintendent of police are working with more emphasis on Bantwal area. We are installing CCTV cameras in all important parts of Bantwal taluk. If any persons or organizations have any doubts or want to seek clarification, they can come directly to police without any apprehension,” he said.

Watch your children

“Karnataka is a well developed and cultured state in the country where all people want to reside. Dakshina Kannada district, including Bantwal area, was known for peace and harmony. But a seed of hatred was planted here 25 years back. Make sure that your children are guided properly. Watch them so that these anti social elements do not poison them. We will make sure that law and order is maintained in this area.” he concluded.

Deputy Commissioner Dr Jagadeesh who spoke on the occasion asked the people not to lend support to the communalists who want to disrupt peace in the society. He promised that the district administration and police department are going to correct themselves and come up with better measures to maintain law and order. He requested the leaders to inspire the young generation to do good deeds in the society.

Superintendent of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy said “We are arresting the suspects based on CCTV footages. If one wants to retaliate by throwing stones for the same act done by others, then why do you want police department? We do not want any suggestions and demands which are not logical.”
