Baidyanathpur police here on Tuesday detained seven persons moving suspiciously in the locality. All of them were in saffron clothes and looked like Sadhus.
Upon enquiry, it was found that they belonged to Dholpur district in Rajasthan. Their identities were also established. Brahmapur SP Dr Sarvana Vivek M said the Dholpur police was contacted to verify identities of the suspected persons. During investigation, it was found that they were snake charmers by occupation. As catching snake has been banned, they roam and sell Rudraksha seeds and other items all over the country. It was also found that they did not have any criminal cases in their names.
Police dropped all detainees at the Brahmapur railway station and facilitated their return to Rajasthan.
