Budgam police attach GPS tracking bracelet to person accused of supporting militants – Rising Kashmir

In an important step towards improving public safety and maintaining law and order, the Budgam police, on the orders of the court concerned, have successfully fitted a GPS tracking ankle bracelet on Mudasir Fayaz, the accused accused of supporting insurgency in Kashmir, Budgam police said.

This relates to case FIR No. 150 of 2022 under Sections 18, 23, 38 and 39 of UAPA read with Sections 7/25 of Arms Act filed by PS Chadoora.

The use of GPS tracking devices in high-profile cases underscores law enforcement's commitment to public safety. These devices allow authorities to closely monitor the movements of high-risk offenders, significantly reducing the likelihood of further criminal activity.

Attaching GPS tracking bracelets to the accused ensures that their movements can be tracked in real time and their entry into prohibited areas or their exit from the geographical boundaries specified in the court order can be monitored.

“Budgam police are determined to protect their community. Constant surveillance through GPS tracking ensures that offenders are brought to book and prevents any attempt to engage in unlawful activities. This proactive approach reflects the commitment of Budgam police to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of citizens,” Budgam police added. (ANI)
