​Warangal: The Commissioner of Police, G Sudheer Babu, has issued orders invoking Preventive Detention Act (PD Act) against six persons, who were creating law and order problem.
Cases under the Act were booked against the following persons: Mohammed Biyabani, Shaik Younis, Mohammed Salim, Mohammed Alimuddin, Mohammed Mukthar and Mohammed Yakub of Shambunipet in Warangal Urban district.
They were accused of targeting lonely women in Warangal and Hanamkonda and looting them. The accused were booked under sub section (3), section 3 of Telangana prevention of dangerous activities of bootleggers, dacoits, drug offender, goondas, immoral traffic offenders and land grabbers Act of 1986 (Act No 1 of 1986).
Orders were issued in view of the magisterial powers bestowed on the Commissioner of Police following the establishment of Warangal police Commissionerate. Persons attracting cases under the Act would have to go to jail for one year without bail.
The Police Commissioner, Sudheer Babu, said the accused have committed ten robberies on the outskirts of the city by targeting women moving alone. “We are collecting details of habitual offenders all over the city from the police officials concerned and would keep a tab on their movements,” he said.
He cautioned serious action would be taken against those, creating law and order problem and posing trouble to citizens under the Commissionerate limits. The PD Act would also be invoked against those, harassing women, committing thefts and land grabbing, selling fake seeds, he added.
It might be noted that the State cabinet has recently cleared an ordinance to amend the Preventive Detention Act with an objective to bring some more offences under its ambit.
The new law would deal with supply of spurious seeds, fertilisers and pesticides, adulterated food, milk, oil, chillies and turmeric, circulating fake documents and certificates, irregularities in rice under public distribution system, encroachers and smugglers, sexual assaults, cyber crimes, white collar crimes, gaming and gambling and others.
