In a significant outreach effort under community policing, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Manoj Kumar Singh held a "Khatla Baithak" in Bhootiya village, one of the most notorious and inaccessible villages in Dhar district, known for its association with robbers and dacoity criminals of Tanda police station area.
During the meeting, DIG Singh urged the Sarpanch, Deputy Sarpanch, Tadvi Patel, and villagers to distance themselves from property-related crimes such as theft, robbery, dacoity, and cattle theft, and to integrate into the mainstream society. Emphasizing the importance of education, he encouraged the villagers to educate their children and adopt moral values to secure a better future.
He further assured that legal assistance would be provided to criminals willing to reform and reintegrate into society. Addressing issues of social evils and respect for women, DIG Singh called on the villagers to play a constructive role in building a safer and more harmonious community.
During the Khatla Baithak, all present took a pledge to abstain from crime and drug abuse and work towards positive social change.
The meeting was attended by Sub-Divisional Officer of Police (SDOP) Kukshi Sunil Gupta, Tanda Police Station In-charge Inspector Sanjay Rawat, Cyber Cell In-charge Prashant Gunjal, Ringnod Outpost In-charge Gulab Bhayaria, Secretary Samar Singh, Village Patel Bhurla, and Sarpanch Pati Bhuru, among other local officials and community leaders.
