Politics of Police


Uttar Pradesh Police needs an immediate disaster relief.By disaster,I mean,the charges of criminal conspiracy,murder,fake encounters,robbery,rape,which are being framed on Uttar Pradesh Police personnels almost everyday.Why there has always been a severe crisis of police leadership in the state? Why the Chief Minister has not been able to keep her promise of eradicating the ambience of fear,mistrust between police and people? Would the policy of increasing the cadre strength of IPS Officer in the state alone be able to bring police reforms in the organization? How long will the government use police as an instrument of betrayal and fulfilling vested interests? Uttar Pradesh Police is going through a very turbulent situation.The model of policing in Uttar Pradesh is not which is needed at the present time.As a top cop of police administration,the buck stops with DGP and he should take the lead without caring for his continuation of tenure as DGP and without caring for political cake,which he used to eat during his whole tenure of DGP,but that doesn’t lessen the duty and responsibility of Chief Minister of bringing the era of police reforms in the state.Uttar Pradesh Police can no longer keep the faith and belief of people in it’s present form.It must be renovated and reformed.I would urge the Chief Minister,to not make this police force as a decorative item of a political event,where aam aadmi is dying for justice and political representatives is busy in buying police stations,which is not palatable to anyone.Brutality,inhumane behaviour,fake encounters,robbery,violation of the provisions of Police Regulation Act are forte of Uttar Pradesh Police.Uttar Pradesh Government should immediately stop playing the politics of law and order and revive the bad condition of police.DPCs,DIGs,IGs should keep aside their bruised egos and take strict action against criminals,not only by giving orders,but keep visiting several places in the district to know the ground realities.
