A team comprises a sub-inspector (SI) and a policeman have been assigned to monitor active anti-socials in the city, as per directions of police commissioner Shankar Jiwal. The two cops will be responsible for tracking the movements of rowdies belonging to the Aplus and A category at a time. They would collect their call data and movements.
If the special team notices rowdies disappearing off the police radar, they would report the matter to the higher-ups. The team will also keep a check if some other gangsters or anti-socials are meeting the rowdies under scanner.
