Hyderabad: The noisy sheets are reportedly inviting minors in Ganga to conduct theft and other criminal activities on their behalf. This provides them with a layer of insurance, as teenagers are governed by a different set of laws and enjoy greater protection.
“We have detained more than a dozen teenage suspects who have admitted to being recruited by noisy bed sheets to steal cars and other valuables,” a senior police officer said in a speech to Deccan Chronicle.
He added: “Based on their statements, we have taken action against five noisy sheets, who have attracted these minors to commit crimes. The joint team and task force of the Special Operations Team (SOT) are actively monitoring the movement of Rowdy and History Sheeters.”
The official noted that severe measures were taken under the Prevention of Detention Act for Noisy Bed Sheets. “We have warned the third-level committee to over 560 noisy sheets. If they continue to develop minors or engage in organized crime, then strict legal proceedings.”
For the first time in history, the Enforcement Bureau (ED) has attached the property worth Rs 1,001 crore to a big noisy Sheeter, alias “Chor” Kaisar, in the money laundering case. A senior police officer said he was charged with more than 100 crimes.
Asif Sohail, a well-known activist with extensive experience in urban reform and prisoner rehabilitation, noted that despite police progress in crime control, surveillance alone cannot remove deeply rooted criminal networks. He urged the police commissioner to take positive steps to reintegrate these people into society. He added: “If someone lives a luxury life without a legal job or business, it should create red flags.”
Commenting on minors’ participation in criminal activities, Sohail said it goes beyond exploitation, which constitutes a combing out future criminal lords.
Instead of labeling criminals as criminals, he advised authorities to treat them like struggling students. “Yes, some people fail – but they still deserve classrooms, not cages or prisons. We should see crime as a disease that can be prevented and cured,” he said.
“The infamous noisy sheets – some are imprisoned, some operated from the shadows – have read their tactics. We have observed that they recruit teenagers to conduct blackmail, rob, contract killing and issuance threats while staying under police radar,” said social activist Ayesha.
These minors are attracted by quick money, status and false sense of belonging. “They were used as pawns – sent to intimidate shop owners, scout communities or promote illegal land transactions,” said Ayesha Khan, a community leader in Tolichowki.
“The younger the less attention you attract,” she added.
Speaking in the paper accepting the paper, Ms. Khajauddin said: “I used to be a noisy thin piece. But after my daughter passed away, I realized that I was committing a crime. I gave up all the illegal activities, which led to the police removing my name from the noisy sheets. I have now started selling fabrics in my own business and are selling well.
