‘Act tough with human traffickers’
Staff Reporter
KADAPA: Moral and professional commitment in the police force is imperative for curbing human trafficking with an iron hand, senior officials said on Friday. Police officers should act with sensitivity.
They need not wait for written complaints to book persons involved in the illegal activity, Collector M.T. Krishna Babu said at the inaugural session of a two-day training programme for supporting officials on anti-human trafficking at District Training Centre here.
Open rowdy-sheets
He advised police officials to give the accused public thrashing so as to inculcate fear among organised trafficking gangs.
He also told them to open rowdy-sheets by going above law in extreme cases.
Traffickers could be paraded in public and booked under Preventive Detention Act as a deterrent measure.
