If the hard core fearless armed criminals are not reined in Delhi, the Station House Officer (SHO), Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) and the beat staff will be taken to task.
This was stated by the Delhi Police Commissioner, Amulya Patnaik, on Saturday in the presence of all Special Commissioners, Joint Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners of Police of 13 districts during a crime analysis meeting and cautioned the subordinates in the matter.
The Police Commissioner told the officers that the police stations areas in which the incidents are continuously increasing and performance of the SHOs is of lower grade, they should be immediately removed. Such kind of police inspectors do not have the right to stay on the post of SHO, said a senior police officer.
By the strict attitude of the Police Commissioner this is considered that now only those inspectors would remain on the post of SHOs in whose areas the incident of gunpoint crime would be less and they would immediately solve the cases.
It is to be noted that, so far, on favour bases and merit bases inspectors getting the SHO post were remaining in the police stations nearly for two to two and a half years.
