POLICE PRESS letter to DGP UTTAR PRADESH

POLICE PRESS New Delhi: In another shocking crime against women reported from Uttar Pradesh, a woman constable was raped by a sub-inspector on a number of occasions on the false pretext of marriage in Kasganj district. The victim alleged that the accused had sexually assaulted her over a period of many months. The accused, sub-inspector Piyush Singh has been booked under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and also under SC-ST Act for raping a woman constable working with him. Ashok Kumar Shukla, Superintendent of Police, Kasganj, confirmed the accused cop had been suspended and will be sent to jail. Moreover, the SP added that exemplary punishment will be ensured for the accused to deter all men in uniform from indulging in such heinous crimes. The incident yet again brings to the fore the question of women’s safety in India and how even places which are supposed to protect the law are vulnerable for a female in India. No country for women! Women cop raped by sub-inspect...

POLICE PRESS LETTER TO DGP 

POLICE PRESS Political involvement of the police is not per se a new phenomenon. Indeed it is well known that during colonial period the police were in politics in a way, to gain prominence during the 1980s. They often owned their jobs and promotions to the local alderman and were expected to cooperate with political wards, bosses and other sachems of the machines. The police are in all cases keenly sensitive to their political environment without in all cases being governed by it. Their political concerns are ordinarily reserved for those decisions affecting their careers as individual members of the bureaucracy. Yet there was traditionally another, perhaps more significant way in which the police were political as the active arm of the status quo. For decades the police were the main bulwark of the opposition, but most of these men experienced encounters with the police in their youth. But people have come to see the police as enforcers of the status quo. While these types...

POLICE PRESS; SAY NO TO DRUGS The International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a United Nations International Day against drug abuse and the illegal drug trade. It has been held annually since 1988 on 26 June. Drug abuse (addiction) involves compulsively seeking to use a substance, regardless of the potentially negative social, psychological and physical consequences. Certain drugs, such as narcotics and cocaine, are more physically addicting than some other drugs. One may have an emotional, psychological or a physical dependence. One has control over the choice to start using drugs, but once addicted, the pleasurable effect of drugs makes one want to keep using them. There are lots of reasons why people take illegal drugs. Some take them to escape their problems while others are bored, curious or just want to feel good. People may be pressured into taking drugs to “fit in” with a particular crowd or they may take drugs to rebel or get attention. An addic...

POLICE PRESS- BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN POLICE AND PEOPLE

The Supreme Court today ruled that it cannot issue a disqualification to bar those candidates from contesting elections against whom a chargesheet has been filed in criminal offences. The judgment was pronounced by a Constitution Bench presided by Chief Justice Dipak Misra and comprising Justices Rohinton Nariman, AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra. The Court noted that the Indian Constitution clearly provides that it is the Parliament that has to make the law concerning disqualification of electoral candidates. In this regard, reference was made to Articles 102 and 191 of the Constitution. As observed in the judgment, “On a perusal of both the Articles, it is clear as crystal that as regards disqualification for being chosen as a member of either House of Parliament and similarly disqualification for being chosen or for being a member of the Legislative Assembly or Legislative Council of a State, the law has to be made by the Parliament.“ This view has also be...

POLICE PRESS The Supreme Court today ruled that Members of Parliament and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MPs and MLAs) cannot be barred from practicing law. The Court made it clear that Rule 49 of the the Bar Council of India Rules is applicable only to full-time salaried employees, and does not cover legislators within its ambit. The judgment was delivered by a Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud in a petition filed by advocate and BJP Spokesperson Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay. Upadhyay had filed the petition praying that legislators be debarred from practicing as Advocates (for the period during which they are Members of Parliament or State Assembly), in the spirit of Part-VI of the Bar Council of India Rules. In the alternative, he had sought for a direction to quash Rule 49 of the Bar Council of India Rules as ultra vires the Constitution and its basic structure, and to permit all Public Servants to practice as Advocates. T...

POLICE PRESS POLITICS One of my favorite bits of public relations advice to give is this: build relationships when things are good. If you proactively tell your story, you prevent someone else from telling it for you. Officers are often the subject of the media and public’s fascination – and scrutiny. One moment a departments’ actions are questioned, the next moment those same men and women in khaki are lauded as heroes. With all of this attention comes great responsibility and a need to connect with the very communities each police department serves through clear, consistent communications. Is it time to consider PR for the PD? Perhaps. In recent years, many police departments have turned to public relations firms for assistance on that front. Some are doing so to stay ahead of a crisis; others to manage a situation that has already grabbed headlines or spun out of control. POLICE PRESS name itself reveals the motive and identity. POLICE PRESS is working as a organisation a...
