Bengaluru Apartment Booked for Running Private 'Justice System' on Theft, Drugs

• Bengaluru police booked Provident Sunworth Apartment Association and TYKO Security for operating an unauthorized internal 'justice system'.
• The association allegedly handled serious crimes like theft, drug use, and sexual assault internally, imposing fines instead of reporting to law enforcement.
• This practice suppressed criminal cases, denied justice to victims, and allowed offenders to evade legal consequences.
• Police stated private associations lack legal authority to investigate crimes or impose penalties; all offenses must be reported.
• A case has been registered at Kumbalgodu Police Station under relevant sections, including the NDPS Act, and an investigation is underway.
