Repeat Offender Despite Prior Action
Earlier, Nokariya had been subjected to preventive action under Section 110 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in both 2021 and 2023. He was also detained twice under the MPDA Act for one year each. Despite being required to sign a final bond for good behavior in 2024, he continued his involvement in serious criminal activities, violating the terms of the bond.
