We have heard about children or elder people being adopted, but Pune's Pimpri Chinchwad police chief has come up with a unique diktat scheme of adopting a criminal. There has been an alarming rise in crime rates during the festive season. Maintaining law and order and to keep a tab on criminals has become a huge headache for the police. To avoid further incidents and curb crime incidents, the Pimpri Chinchwad Police Commissioner Sandeep Bhishnoi has come up with the scheme of adopting criminals.

According to the new order, each constable in each of the 30 police stations (in the locality) will be adopting one criminal. As part of the policy, the constables will be scanning the criminal's past, will keep a tab on his/her present activity and also submit a monthly report to their superiors. CP Bhishnoi himself will be monitoring the reports of the police constables.
