Mysuru: Catching thieves is not the responsibility of the Police alone and public too can play an important role in nabbing thieves — something what one calls Public Policing. A case of Public Policing was in full display in city yesterday when two students chased a mobile handset thief and caught him. He was given a good thrashing by the public and was handed over to the Police.
Following the Police advise to be alert while moving in public and be on guard for chain-snatchers and mobile phone snatchers, two college students — Pramod, a resident of Mahadevapura and Puttaraju, a resident of Hullahalli in Nanjangud — caught one Riyaz Pasha of Ghousia Nagar at the City Bus Stand.
