‘NBW-free commissionerate': Rachakonda Police clear all 2,847 pending warrants in 30 days
The Rachakonda Police have executed all 2,847 pending Non-Bailable Warrants (NBWs) in a 30-day operation aimed at bringing the number of such warrants to zero under a drive titled 'NBW-free commissionerate'. The crackdown was launched after the number of pending NBWs rose sharply from 1,088 in January to 2,847 by the end of April, said Police Commissioner G. Sudheer Babu. 'Nine special teams were formed, each comprising one sub-inspector and four constables, to carry out warrant executions division-wise. Additional teams were sent to other states, including Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, to trace the accused who had relocated. Warrants were grouped based on the seriousness of the offence, geography, and period of pendency,' explained the commissioner. A total of 2,024 accused persons were physically produced in court. 'In the remaining 823 cases, police submitted requisitions to courts for proclamation proceedings, notices to sureties, and attachment of property under Sections 82 and 83 of the Criminal Procedure Code and corresponding BNSS provisions,' added the officer. He further explained that among the executed NBWs, 1,408 were long-pending cases issued before 2023. In 52 cases, the accused were found to be deceased. 'Fourteen accused were already in jail, and their warrants were regularised to initiate trial. In 13 cases, the accused had absconded mid-trial, and police re-secured their presence. Four persons were wanted in narcotics-related cases, their arrest is expected to expedite trials in related matters,' said the Commissioner. Going forward, police said they will continue the timely execution of all new NBWs. If warrants cannot be executed, legal steps including proclamations, surety forfeiture, and property attachment will be initiated without delay.

Surprise police checks reveal flouting of norms by many hotels in Visakhapatnam
As part of security measures, the city police conducted surprise inspections at more than 80 hotels and lodges simultaneously on Monday night. Following instructions from the Commissioner of Police, Shankabratha Bagchi, police teams under the supervision of senior officials conducted the raids between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. They uncovered multiple violations by several hotels including operating without proper licences, mandatory fire No Objection Certificate (NOC), trade licences, and other essential clearances. Multiple teams took part in the raids in different areas in Zone I and II and each team was equipped with body-worn cameras and included a woman police constable or woman home guard to ensure gender-sensitive procedures during the checks. The inspections focused on verifying the identity of guests, checking for individuals with Non-Bailable Warrants (NBWs), absconding suspects, and minors. Officials also assessed whether hotels were adhering to operational regulations such as maintaining valid trade licences, fire NOCs, GST registrations, and FSSAI licences. Compliance with safety measures like functioning CCTV cameras, metal detectors, and baggage scanners was also reviewed. The police discovered that eight hotels lacked a valid fire NOC, while seven hotels were operating without a basic trade licence. As many as 22 hotels did not possess the mandatory FSSAI licence required for serving food in the hotel. Seven hotels had not been updating guest data with the city police's Visitor Monitoring System (VMS), a key tool for tracking the movement of suspicious individuals arriving in the city. The police have begun coordinating with relevant departments to initiate action pertaining to the violations. Mr. Bagchi, in a release, stated that such raids will be conducted randomly as part of crime prevention and security measures.
