Hyderabad, Sep 12 (IANS) As many as 240 persons were arrested and sentenced to imprisonment ranging fro two to 10 days for misbehaving with women during the Ganesh festival, which concluded in Hyderabad on September 9.
SHE teams, a division of Telangana Police for enhanced safety and security of women, caught these men red-handed while misbehaving with women by touching them inappropriately, stalking them and taking their pictures near Ganesh pandals across the city.
SHE team members who were incognito in the crowd in civil dress with secret cameras arrested the accused who were deliberately touching and harassing women.
The accused were produced before the Nampally Court with sufficient evidence and the trial court slapped a fine of Rs 250 on them and sentenced them to jail for a period ranging from two to 10 days.
"It is not easy to escape from the eyes of SHE teams no matter where the place is, no matter how huge the crowd is," said Additional Commissioner of Police (Crimes & SIT, SHE Team & Bharosa), A.R. Srinivas
"It is your ignorance if you think your unethical acts of behaving indecently with women will not be caught by the hidden cameras of Hyderabad SHE teams. SHE teams ensure that the accused are punished by producing proper evidence before the courts," he said.
The official advised youth not to stain their precious life because of silly and dirty pleasures.
He said on the occasion of Ganesh festival, the Hyderabad SHE team had its footprint at all pandals under the Hyderabad Commissionerate.
Hyderabad City Police Commissioner C.V. Anand congratulated and appreciated the professionalism and commitment shown by the Hyderabad SHE team members.
Police have also recovered a cache of 55 pistols of .32 bore and .30 bore from their possession. The accused were apprehended from Madhya Pradesh by the Counter Intelligence unit of Punjab Police with the help of its counterparts in Madhya Pradesh.
Lingayat seer Dr Murugha Shivamurthy Sharanaru, accused of raping minor girls, was finally taken into custody by the Karnataka Police on Thursday night - six days after the FIR against him was lodged. Police sources said the accused seer will be produced before a court on Friday.
Taking umbrage at the Union Minister's new plan on how the future of Chandigarh would be decided, Badal said: "It is not in the ambit of Shekhawat to take a decision on this matter. This is a closed chapter. The UT status of Chandigarh is purely temporary pending transfer to Punjab."
Mann said in another significant decision, the state government has now decided to appoint Chief Minister Field Officers as Nodal Officers for NRIs to ensure redressal of their grievances. He said that these officers will prove to be an ideal Nodal Officer for NRIs as they will be effectively able to coordinate across departments and districts, besides having a direct communication with the Chief Minister's Office.
The passengers were later identified as Moshin Khan Saifi and Asim. Saifi was supposed to travel from Delhi to Hyderabad by Vistara Flight, whereas Asim was supposed to travel from Delhi to Dubai by Air India Express flight.
The official said that at about 4 pm, CISF staff at Terminal-3 noticed suspicious activities of a passenger in the check-in area. The passenger was later identified as Misam Raza, who was about to fly to Dubai on a SpiceJet flight. Raza was then diverted to the random checking point for a thorough checking of his luggage.
