Speaking to Deccan Herald, he said “though warrant has been issued against 250 to 300 accused in cases related to murder, dacoity, illicit liquor, fake passport, counterfeit notes, all are absconding. As a result, the warrant issued by the court could not reach the accused. We have given a list of most wanted accused, to Kerala police.” The meet also discussed mechanism to crack theft of vehicle and wooden logs in border areas.
The meet was not restricted for police department alone. A similar meeting will be held in Karnataka within six months.
