Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery has revealed 90 criminal gangs, saying that members of such illegal groups would be arrested and charged in court.
Prevention of Organised Crimes Act, 2010 spells out tough measures to deal with criminal gangs by imposing jail terms ranging from 14 years to life imprisonment for those found guilty. It also provides a harsh penalty for anyone who fundraises, organises or directs members of a criminal gang to commit a serious crime and/or for those taking or administering oath as they are liable upon conviction to life imprisonment.
