UP: Agra police introduces eagle mobile team to monitor criminals

Police in Agra has found a unique way to control crime in the region. They have introduced an eagle mobile team to keep an eye on "professional criminals".

"We have formed an eagle mobile team to combat the menace of crime in the state. We have appointed two constables in each police station who will keep a check on the professional criminals residing. There are around 600-700 criminals in each police station. We have also briefed our constables about the same," said Bablu Kumar, Senior Superintendent of Police, Agra.

"Criminals after coming out of prison think that nobody is watching them so they tend to commit crimes again. Now the eagle mobile team will monitor their activities," he added.
