The High Court on Saturday suggested the City Police Commissioner to constitute a special team for tracing missing girls, women and mentally challenged persons.
During the hearing of a petition by a person whose missing brother had not been traced even after six years, a division bench comprising Justices N Kumar and B Veerappa said that such people could be victimised and hence the police should take the matter seriously. Police Commissioner M N Reddi, who was present in the court, assured that he would take personal interest in such matters.
