Speaking to The Free Press Journal, Rawle said that over the past few months, concerns have been raised about rising crime in the city, with incidents ranging from gang wars and murders to crimes against women, chain-snatching and pickpocketing, creating an atmosphere of fear among citizens.
To restore public confidence and ensure safety, Pune Police have stepped up their efforts, Rawle added. “We aim to dispel fear from the minds of citizens and instil a sense of security,” said DCP Rawle.
Recently, Pune Police paraded many criminals accused of opening fire and attacking ordinary citizens with sharp weapons over trivial disputes.
This public action was part of the same strategy, which has now been followed up with preventive action against 43 notorious offenders across the city.
