Disgusting. Totally disgusting. And what is worse, is that this report has probably been planted by motivated elements in either the bureaucracy, or disgruntled elements in the Army. UPA seems totally unable to control its public servants.

Re: Indian Police Reform

On the contrary. A higher responsibility lies on the police, because they are specifically charged with maintaining public order. The law recognises that a criminal act by a policeman is far more serious, because he or she is supposed to uphold the law, and not break it.
