Nellore Police Counsel Offenders, Issue Warning
The public was urged to report suspicious activities through Dial 112
Nellore: In a major crackdown on anti-social elements, Nellore district police on Sunday conducted special counselling sessions for rowdy-sheeters, history-sheeters, known offenders and other persons with criminal backgrounds, warning them to reform or face stringent legal action, including detention under the Preventive Detention (PD) Act.
Acting on the directions of SPSR Nellore Superintendent of Police Dr Ajitha Vejendla, police officials across the district counselled offenders and urged them to abandon criminal activities and lead law-abiding lives.
Police made it clear that rowdyism, intimidation, assaults, public disturbances and other activities affecting law and order would not be tolerated. Officials warned that habitual offenders posing a threat to public peace would be kept under close watch and, if necessary, booked under the PD Act.
The police also reiterated their zero-tolerance policy towards crimes against women and children, including harassment, sexual assault and rape, stating that such cases would be investigated swiftly to ensure justice.
Officials said surveillance of rowdy-sheeters and other offenders had been strengthened through expanded CCTV coverage, enhanced beat policing and the use of modern technology to prevent crime. The public was urged to report suspicious activities through Dial 112, the police control room WhatsApp number or the nearest police station.
Police said maintaining peace, protecting life and property, and ensuring a crime-free district remain their top priorities.
