Police have instructed weapons manufacturers and sellers of knives, billhooks and sickles to collect all details of their customers including Aadhaar number before making the sale. The directive came at separate meetings held by Madurai city and district police with them in the wake of the recent statewide crackdown on anti-social elements following a series of revenge killings and criminal activities.
“Sales of kitchen knives or sickles for domestic purposes are understandable. However, we find many rowdies possess weapons like billhooks that are much bigger in size, and even swords. We have asked weapons manufacturers and sellers to hence collect all personal details possible of customers, including even Aadhaar number.
