Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava on Saturday reviewed the action against hoarding and black marketing of medicines, injections and oxygen cylinders in the national Capital. The CP also reviewed the cases of fraud taking place on pretext of providing Covid help, besides the effective enforcement of the lockdown in a virtual meeting.
The CP appreciated police actions on black-marketing, hoarding and covid help cheating. He told the district’s DCsP to obtain orders from courts as early as possible for release of seized medicine, concentrators and oxygen cylinders for use by needy patients.
Shrivastava asked the DCsP to intensify action of covid online fraudsters in coordination with the cyber cell and crime branch for interstate investigation as most of the calls involved in cheating are originating from Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, MP and Mewat.
In view of the tendency observed from certain pockets of public to come out unnecessarily in violation of the lockdown, district DCsP were instructed to identify the areas and specific spheres which are problem areas in lockdown implementation.
