Aiming to prevent body offences, Raipur Police launched a massive campaign against people, who purchased knives online, and recovered around 72 knives. “The information collected from e-commerce companies revealed that 72 people have purchased knives as well as button-operated knives in the last three months. Acting on the collected inputs, police managed to recover 72 knives,” said Additional Superintendent of Police (City) Tarkeshwar Patel. Amid incidents of knifing and other crimes, Raipur Police approached the e-commerce company to collect details about people who ordered knives online and acted on the basis of gathered inputs, said the officer.
 
It may be recalled that in March this year, Raipur Police recovered around 318 knives. Investigation carried out at that time revealed that 119 minors had placed the order for purchase of knives. The e-commerce company had provided details about 502 persons, of which 282 were hailing from adjacent districts.
