Reformed offenders seek police help in rehab
Over 100 habitual offenders living in Cyberabad commissionerate limits urged the police to provide rehabilitation to lead a better life. The offenders those arrested in several cases, including contract murders, property offences like chain snatchings and robberies, now want to change and lead a new life and live with their families.
Hyderabad: Over 100 habitual offenders living in Cyberabad commissionerate limits urged the police to provide rehabilitation to lead a better life. The offenders those arrested in several cases, including contract murders, property offences like chain snatchings and robberies, now want to change and lead a new life and live with their families.
In 2014 and 2015, the Cyberabad police which arrested six persons involved in heinous crimes rehabilitated them and help them lead a social life with responsibility. The six persons who were seen happy and earning loyally have shared their experiences with other jail release offenders.
In 2014, one P Raju of Kushaiguda, who was involved in as many as 80 chain snatching offences, approached the Cyberabad police. He told the police that after getting released from jail, he was unable to find livelihood and was not being employed due to his criminal background.
On his request, the police then helped him to start a tea stall at ECIL Crossroads and now Raju earns about Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000 per day.
Sharing his experience, Raju said, “Earlier police never cared about the offender’s life. I saw many persons in jail, who claimed that they were booked in cases by the police even without their involvement. I was worried about my family when I got out of jail. I feel lucky that I received police help to start my business.”
Raju added that he was recently approached by one Srinivas Reddy, accused in 40 property offences, requesting suggestions to approach police for rehabilitation. “I felt very happy that someone is taking me as inspiration. I led lavish life when I had stolen money and gold, but I am more satisfied now. Even I earn less; I spend time with my children,” he said expressing his happiness.
S Venkata Ramana, who was involved in 200 burglaries across the State, now runs a tea stall at Uppal bus stop. One Vamsidhar Reddy, once a notorious burglar, now owns a tiffin centre at LB Nagar. A Prasad Reddy, 45, a former Maoist, convicted by the courts in 120 cases including murders and dacoity, was aided by the Cyberabad police to start a teal stall at LB Nagar in 2015.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner C V Anand said we helped six ex-convicts under rehabilitation. They are living happily with their families and they earned respect in the society. “As part of rehabilitation programme, we helped six jail release offenders, who approached us. Now, over 100 such persons have made a beeline seeking rehabilitation,” the commissioner said.
It is a proud moment for Cyberabad police that we are helping several ex-convicts to lead social life, the commissioner said, adding that in 2016 they will all be aided for rehabilitation.
