In addition to this, City Patrol Unit personnel have also been directed to conduct checking of public transport vehicles randomly from time to time to put check on eve teasing in the city. CPU personnel would ask women about their travelling experiences followed by action against eve teasers, said State additional director general of police (law and order) Ashok Kumar while presiding over a meeting with police officers at police headquarters on Tuesday.
