At a time where the crime barometer is on a steep ascending mode, an independent police force would have been a solace. But with political interference in the selection, promotion and transfer of our law enforcement officers, the police are obviously unable to deliver. There should be an ongoing effort to instil discipline in the police cadres and minimal, if not zero tolerance towards indiscipline and misconduct. In Mumbai, rank indiscipline in the force is a matter of concern as the law keepers have turned out to be law breakers. The Mumbai as many as 42 police men have been booked for various offences in 2005 alone. From forgery, cheating, tampering of evidence and impersonation, to thefts, dacoity, rash driving, outraging the modesty of a woman, assault, attempt to murder and murder, these 42 policemen have outstandingly excelled in it all.
