Hyderabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar said a Central Investigation Team will soon be constituted to keep a close watch on sensitive and high-impact cases, noting that the police cannot stop at arrests - but must push investigations through to convictions. He delivered the message at the monthly crime review meeting for October, held at the TGICCC auditorium in Banjara Hills, on Friday.
Mr. Sajjanar questioned officers on the present state of case registration, the pace of inquiries and the rise in specific offence categories. He also reviewed acquittals from older cases before issuing firm directions. He reminded officers that every complaint at a police station must be acted upon immediately and converted into an FIR without any attempt to dilute seriousness or evade responsibility. Those found negligent, he warned, should expect suspension.
He drew attention to cases pending for several years and asked officials to fast-track them with renewed focus. He stressed respectful handling of women visiting police stations, arguing that basic courtesy often determines whether victims choose to return for justice.
Officers were told to develop a clear plan of action for every case and ensure that no investigative step is left unchecked. Mr. Sajjanar called for a tougher stance on drugs, road accidents, online gaming rackets and betting networks, while also demanding heightened attention to cybercrime, women’s safety, street crime and food adulteration.
