The objective is to engage children in constructive activities: Shankar Jiwal
The city police are forming more police boys and girls clubs to prevent children from socially and economically backward areas from falling into bad ways.
Originally, the police boys clubs were started in 2003 in Tamil Nadu as a crime prevention strategy. At present, there are 60 such clubs functioning in Chennai in slums and economically backward areas.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
