The Central Crime Branch (CCB) conducted an intimidators’ parade at its headquarters on Friday in the run-up to the general elections.
More than 300 history-sheeters were summoned to the CCB headquarters in Chamarajpet where Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Alok Kumar warned them to keep away from intimidation tactics. Rowdies usually collude with cluster heads of political parties and intimidate voters, according to the police.
During the parade, Kumar had a face-off with ‘Silent’ Sunil, a notorious history-sheeter who kept staring at him during the conversation. Kumar gave Sunil an earful and instructed his officers to take him into the lock-up, check his call detail record and book him for criminal intimidation.
Sunil was soon escorted into the lock-up inside the CCB headquarters.
