City cops to host juvenile counseling in north Bangalore

BANGALORE: Worried by increasing cases of juvenile involving crimes, city police decided to host a counseling for these minor-accused. As a pilot project, Deputy commissioner of police-North Bangalore HS Revanna and his staff along with psychiatrist counseled around 300 juvenile accused in July first week. Parents and guardians of these juveniles were present.
"It is really a success as none of the 300 juvenile accused participated in any criminal or anti social activities," HS Revanna told TOI.
Encouraged by the first success, Revanna is planning to counsel another batch of juveniles in KLE college, Rajajinagar on August 16. "Advocates, doctors including psychiatrists will be attending the day long meet," he said. Interested can contact-22942522 (Rajajinagar police station) or 22942299 (North DCP office).
