Police in Gujarat have decided to follow the famous maxim of 'set a thief to catch a thief'. They have zeroed in on a dreaded gangster, arrested for three murders and umpteen extortion calls to jewellers, and want him to teach them the finer pints of crime. The authorities feel that such criminals can become a source of lessons that cops need to learn in these times of terror threats and heightened security.
This has been reported in
timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 17 March 2016.
It seems the criminal explained to the police and recorded on video of how criminals can conceal no less than six weapons in a car and still escape detection at police checkpoints. The gangster showed how weapons are hidden in a SUV's rear AC vent and even under the leather cover of the gear handle to avoid suspicion.
This unique 'learn from criminals' initiative undertaken by Ahmedabad crime branch would bring to light modus operandi of notorious law-breakers - these video-recordings would help train newly inducted police trainees and will also become a continuous learning tool for senior cops.
Another criminal who ran an extortion racket from inside Vadodara central jail explained how he sneaked mobile phones into the jail in spite of high security.
The police department is also making videos of history-sheeter and burglars who have multiple thefts to their credit like a notorious thief who can steal items from locked cars. The videos reveal how he would break open a car window within seconds by strategically placing a small screwdriver at one end of the glass and giving it a gentle nudge.
These are all happening for new police recruits undergoing training at Karai police academy in Gandhinagar.
