NASHIK: Over 200 criminals have submitted bonds of good behaviour to the police under the criminal reformation programme recently started by the city police.
Under this programme, which was started a couple of weeks ago, the criminals on police record are called and sensitized about the benefits of leaving illegal activities.
Once the criminals concerned give in writing that they would not indulge in any illegal activity and would be ready for any action by the police if they are found in illegal activities, the police will not take preventive action against them.
Commissioner of police Deepak Pandey said during the past few programmes conducted at various police stations over 200 criminals have given us bond of good behaviour. “If their conduct is good over the next few months their names would also be removed from the police record,” he said.
Meanwhile, in the recent programme that was held at Bhadrakali police station, police also gave jobs like security guards and ambulance drivers to seven such criminals.
“While we are taking strict action against criminals, we are also offering an opportunity to many of them to improve their conduct so that they their presence is not a nuisance for the society,” Pandey said.
