Greater Chennai Police can now snare fleeing suspects with BolaWrap – India
The Greater Chennai Police (GCP) are introducing remote restraint devices called BolaWrap, that are capable of entangling suspects from distances of 10 feet to 25 feet, representing a shift towards safer, non-lethal apprehension methods.
GCP plans to acquire 25 kits, each discharging an 7.5-inch Kevlar cord to immobilize individuals swiftly. Retired police inspector R Sakthivel welcomed the initiative, highlighting its potential to reduce injuries to officers and suspects.
Human rights activists, including Advocate S Jonas, are optimistic about the devices' potential to reduce abuses during apprehensions and challenge narratives in court regarding the use of lethal force.
