Police picked up 164 beggars, including women and children, from across the city and sent them to different rehabilitation centres.
Nashik Police Commissioner Ravinder Kumar Singal told this to reporters here yesterday.
He said the action was taken as per the directions given by District and Sessions Court Judge Suryakant Shinde.
"After the court order, the police swung into action and picked up 164 beggars from different locations across the city. They were taken to the police headquarters," he added.
The beggars were given new clothes and food, and were later produced in the court. Thereafter, they were sent to different rehab centres located in Pune, Ahmednagar, Manmad and Nashik, Singal said.
Children were sent to remand homes, he said.
