Anti-stabbing squads formed in Belagavi to check bags, vehicles for weapons
Belagavi: City police has formed anti-stabbing squads to check bags of youngsters, including students, and vehicles of suspects, after an incident of a student being stabbed by two minors following a fight for a window seat in a city bus came to light last week.
People, including minors, have been found carrying knives, swords and other weapons in their pockets and vehicles, giving rise to worry. There is also a rise in incidents like anti-social elements displaying swords at public places, reports Deccan Herald, citing the instance of a person being arrested in the city for displaying a sword near the railway tracks at Gandhi Nagar in order to instill fear among people.
City Police Commissioner Bhushan Borase has said that each anti-stabbing squad team will have five to six personnel who will check the bags and vehicles of suspects. He added that in case of a weapon being found, the person will be booked under the provisions of the Arms Act.
A rowdy sheet will also be opened against him/her and the person will have to report to the police stations during all festivals, he warned.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
