Eighty six respondents linked to ten rival gangs operating in Asifnagar were bound over by Hyderabad Police on Saturday (November 29) after a special court was held at the Hyderabad Police Commissionerate.
The session was conducted by Commissioner of Police and Additional District Magistrate (Executive) V.C. Sajjanar to curb recurring violence involving rowdy sheeters, known offenders and members of rival Deendar Anjuman groups.
Binding over, a legal procedure where a person is required to enter into a bond to ensure good behaviour or to appear in court for further proceedings, is invoked to keep the peace for a set period, or being held to bail to face trial in another court. If the conditions of the bond are violated, the individual can be detained or sentenced.
Police submitted detailed reports outlining murders, attempted murders and other violent incidents arising from retaliatory clashes between these gangs. Officers said the measures were aimed at restoring peace across the South, South East and South West Zones of the city.
All 86 respondents executed security bonds under Section 126 of the BNSS Act of 2023. Police stated that any breach of peace during the one-year bond period will lead to forfeiture of the bond and further legal action.
