This is done in the view of 'Chaddi gang’ robbers moving in different States and burgling posh houses

With police identifying the movements of the ‘Chaddi gang’ of Gujarat, in Vijayawada, police stepped up vigil in and around the city. 'Chaddi gang’ robbers were staying in Garbada Taluk in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh borders. The notorious robber gangs move in different States and burgle posh houses.

“With the Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh police alerting that ‘Chaddi gang’ members will stay on the outskirts and in nearby railway stations, and commit thefts during night hours, we have kept a vigil on the small railway stations, located near Vijayawada,” said Police Commissioner Kanthi Rana Tata.

The Police Commissioner, along with a team of officers, visited the Uppaluru, Madhuranagar and Gunadala railway stations. Police appealed to the locals to alert the police if they notice the movement of strangers.
