Bengaluru accounts for one-third of 39,698 registered rowdies in Karnataka

S. Girish, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West Division), told The Hindu that monitoring at the station level has improved significantly in Bengaluru. “We maintain A, B, and C lists of rowdies to ensure better tracking,” he said. The ‘A’ list is for rowdies active for a longer duration. The ‘B’ list consists of rowdies committing crimes out of the jurisdiction in which they are listed as rowdies. A ‘C’ list is maintained to monitor budding rowdies.
