In perhaps the first case of its kind in Madhya Pradesh, the Indore police have registered a first information report against an unidentified person for giving alms in India’s cleanest city, an official said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The case was registered under Section 223 (disobedience to order issued by a public servant) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against an unknown person for giving alms to a female beggar sitting in front of a temple on Khandwa Road, he said.<\/p>\n
The Bhanwarkuan police station booked the unknown person on the complaint of an officer of the Beggary Eradication Team.<\/p>\n
Under BNS section 223, the guilty can be punished with imprisonment up to one year or a fine up to Rs 5,000 or both.<\/p>\n
According to officials, the administration, which has set a target to make Indore the country’s first beggar-free city, has banned accepting alms, giving alms and buying any goods from beggars. They said that a provision has been made to register an FIR in case of violation of this ban.<\/p>\n
Officials said that the administration has also announced a reward of Rs 1,000 to those giving a tip-off about begging and many people have received the amount so far for sharing inputs.<\/p>\n
The Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has started a pilot project to make 10 cities across the country beggar-free, which includes Indore.<\/p>\n
