In Cyberabad and Rachakonda commissionerates, a rise was witnessed in cybercrimes, crimes against women including rape and POCSO cases, kidnappings, murder attempts, murders, burglaries and economic offences.
The Rachakonda police ensured the conviction rate increased, dealt with iron fist cases of women and child trafficking and busted major drug rackets this year and their counterparts in Cyberabad fared well in reducing road accidents, crimes against weaker sections and hurt cases.
In both the commissionerates, the police were dealing in drunken driving instances with iron fist. In Cyberabad, the police booked 34,746 cases for drunk driving and 3,790 persons were jailed for the violation while in Rachakonda, a total of 580 persons were sent for imprisonment by the court for the same violation.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner Stephen Raveendra said the population of Cyberabad is increasing every year with the city expanding and hence there is an increase in the cases at the police stations. “There is a lot of urbanization in the Cyberabad. We are taking up additional responsibility of effective policing and to provide support to industry growth areas,” he said.
Rachakonda CP Mahesh Bhagwat said the police registered cases whenever a person came with a complaint. “Cases were registered following due legal procedure on every complaint received at the police station and investigated. We expect the number of cases to increase in following years as people have confidence in the police,” he said.
