Mangalore City Police to Set up a Separate Section to Monitor Important Cases: Much Needed

Mangalore City police commissioner Kuldeep Kumar R Jain said that the Mangalore police will set up a separate section to monitor important cases in order to ensure that there is an improvement in the conviction rate for crimes registered under the Indian Penal Code that covers heinous offences.  The commissioner said that a separate section will be established in the police commissioner’s office for day-to-day monitoring and follow-up on all important court cases. The section will be under the direct supervision of DCP (Law & order) Anshu Kumar and the City Crime Records Bureau (CCRB).

The section will focus on following up on all important cases reported in the city. Arrests are only an intermediate punishment. Once the accused is convicted, the public will understand that there is no escape. Follow-ups will be done in phases and the department will make a list of absconding accused and check the status of witnesses in connection with cases.

Through a separate section, every aspect of the case will be looked into, including if the accused are attending the court hearings or not, whether summons/warrants are issued, if police have given objections to the bail applications and so on.
