There is a sudden dip in crime rate in Bangalore city and its' neighbourhood. Besides, there's a lull in gang wars and serial murders also.
Police attribute it all to their tightened vigil.
Criminal lawyer Satish Chandra says that the run-up to the polls has left criminals and mafia elements occupied with other activities.
'Criminals are busy studying the newly delimited constituency maps, elected lists and booths. Some are run aspiring to get tickets and are seen flocking party offices from dusk to dawn.'
The police continued their crackdown on rowdy elements for the second day on Monday.
According to police records, there are 1,780 rowdy- sheeters in Bangalore city alone.
The police have also asked licensed weapon holders to surrender their arms and leave them with jurisdictional police from April 17 to May 30.
Till Monday evening, nearly 261 weapons had been deposited in the city police stations and in the days to come these numbers are sure to swell.
