101 detained under Goondas Act in Tirunelveli district since January
The Tirunelveli District Police have sent strong message to law-breakers, especially to criminals, history-sheeters and predators targeting women and children, by detaining 101 offenders under the provisions of Goondas Act during this year. Of this, 69 persons have been arrested in connection with murder, attempt to murder, robbery, burglary and dacoity cases and 21 others were detained in connection with POCSO and sexual assault cases. Eleven others had been arrested for peddling, stocking and smuggling banned narcotic substances. According to Superintendent of Police N. Silambarasan, the district police is taking stringent action against the criminals, habitual offenders, drug peddlers andt smugglers etc. even as due review is done to monitor the progress of the criminal cases being tried in the courts. The witnesses are being encouraged to depose the truth before the court to strengthen the prosecution's case and to ultimately ensure the conviction of the accused. Hence, the witnesses are being given due protection by the police before and during the trial of the cases and even after the judgment is delivered. In some cases, the police had to take pre-emptive measures to discourage the accused from threatening or targetting the witnesses and their relatives. Thanks to these collective measures, the conviction rate in the criminal cases, especially in the murder and POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) cases, has increased manifold, Mr. Silambarasan says. Meanwhile, C. Arun Pandian alias Maharajan, 24, of Munneerpallam and POCSO case accused P. Gopi Krishna, 20, of Vasavappapuram in Thoothukudi district were detained under the Goondas Act on Tuesday to take the total number of detenues under the Goondas Act to 101. 'Our drive against the criminals and their detention under the Goondas Act will continue,' Mr. Silambarasan assured.
