Police checked documents of bikes and vehicles at various checkpoints in the city. Bikes are usually given back to the owners if they show the documents to the police.

SSP-Operations Sajid Kiani, a few days ago, had directed all sub-divisional police officers (SDPOs) and SHOs to launch a crackdown against beggars and professional alm seekers. Various cases have been registered under anti-vagrancy laws. Police say mischievous elements wander in the city in guise of beggars.
