Cop comes with noble idea to check crime

Ara (Bihar), Aug. 6 (PTI): After successfully trying it in Karnataka, an IPS officer Umesh Kumar, at present Superintendent of Police of Bhojpur district, wants to implement his plan to check crime against women, killing of girl child and help educated youth leave the extremist path in the district.
Kumar, who came to Bihar on deputation, told PTI today that he would like to create a 'special cell' of two respected local professors, as many social workers and policewomen.
The cell would try to solve the problem through counselling and, if needed, stern legal action would be initiated against the perpetrator of crime on women, the SP said.
He said in a bid to discourage the practice of female foeticide, the family where a girl child is born would be provided Rs 2000 from the department sources.
To discourage educated youths from joining Naxalite outfits out of frustration of unemployment, he said he would help youths give up arms and join the mainstream.
The SP claimed he had successfully tried the experiment while working as Police Superintendent of Chitradurga district of Karnataka before coming to Bihar.
