Juveniles to not be lodged in police lockups in J&K
Juvenile offenders, including stone-pelters, will no longer be lodged in police lock-ups in Jammu and Kashmir, Director General of Police SP Vaid said on Thursday. Special juvenile units have been constituted in all police stations across the state, since juveniles sent to lockups or jails may turn into hardened criminals or get radicalised, Vaid added.
