Mysuru :

In his continued bid to bring listed criminals to the mainstream and aiming to rehabilitate them, now known as Members of Bureau of Modus Operandi (MOB), City Police Commissioner Dr. M.A. Saleem conducted the first-ever mass counselling for nearly 500 members of MOB at CAR grounds here this morning.

Dr. Saleem gave counselling to various categories of members of MOB including those who have been released from prison after serving terms and those accused of crimes ranging from murder, theft, robbery, burglary, dacoity, cheating, criminal breach of trust, circulation of fake currency notes and also minor crimes at all the 16 Police Stations coming under City Police Commissionerate.

There are 4,900 members of MOB in the district including 3,048 from city. Out of them, 500 who attended today’s counselling had been brought from all the Police Stations in city in government vehicles.

Dr. Saleem advised the members saying, “you may have committed crimes in a fit of rage, but you will do well to transform yourselves after serving terms to ensure that the society sees you in a better light.” He also offered to get jobs to transformed members depending upon their educational and technical skills.

Dr. Saleem, further asked the MOB members to change their mindset to gain confidence of the society to look at them as reformed persons and see their family members in a more dignified manner, thus saving their kin from being branded as relatives of criminals.

The Commissioner also collected details on conduct of these members who were divided into nine categories based on the nature of crime committed by them from authorities of all the Police Stations.

DCPs A.N. Rajanna & M.M.Mahadevaiah, ACPs A.K.Suresh, Jai Maruthi and B.T. Kavitha and Inspectors of all the Police Stations coming under the City Police Commissionerate were present during the mass counselling.
