‘Strengthen investigation and evidence filing’

Khammam: Police Commissioner Sunil Dutt directed police officers to strengthen investigations stressing that victims should receive speedy and fair justice. Addressing a crime review meeting at the Police Commissionerate here on Thursday, he instructed officers to monitor trial proceedings, identify shortcomings during investigations and take corrective measures. He emphasised the need to record case-related evidence in the e-Sakshya application as per prescribed procedures and file quality charge sheets in courts within the stipulated time. The Commissioner also directed police personnel to create widespread public awareness about the PM RAHAT scheme, which provides cashless medical treatment of up to Rs 1.50 lakh to road accident victims.

On ganja-related cases, he instructed officers to investigate the supply chain thoroughly, identify major suppliers and trace the sources of illegal transportation and distribution instead of limiting action to consumers.

He also called for special surveillance to prevent illegal sand transportation from neighbouring states into Telangana and strict monitoring of habitual offenders. Police were further instructed to verify vehicle registration and ownership transfer documents maintained by second-hand vehicle dealers and prevent sales without valid documentation.
