Warangal, May 23: The Warangal Police Commissionerate has launched a 24 hour surveillance system at Warangal and Kazipet railway stations to prevent interstate theft gangs from operating in the city.
Police Commissioner Sanpreet Singh introduced the special action plan after recent house burglaries and chain snatching cases under commissionerate limits.
Investigators found that many suspects involved in recent crimes belonged to other states, especially from North India. Officials said the accused were using railway routes to enter Warangal, commit thefts and escape quickly.
Special Teams Monitor Railway Stations
Police formed four special teams under Additional DCP Crimes Balaswamy and ACP CCS Sadaiah. Two teams each were deployed at Warangal railway station and Kazipet Junction.
The teams are working with Government Railway Police and Railway Protection Force personnel. Officers are checking passengers arriving from different states and identifying suspicious movements.
Police are also using facial recognition systems and fingerprint verification tools to match suspects with the national criminal database. In addition, officers are inspecting luggage and recording personal details during surveillance checks.
If the system detects any criminal background, police immediately receive alerts and take the suspect into custody for questioning.
Officials said each team has four members and works in shifts round the clock. Police are also maintaining digital records of suspicious individuals for future investigations and monitoring.
The commissionerate launched the initiative to strengthen security and reduce interstate theft cases in Warangal city.
