Delhi Kanjawala Case: A 20-year-old girl’s scooter was hit by a car and she was dragged for a few kilometers on New Year’s Eve, Kiran Bedi Calls out on the police response system

Delhi: With reference to the recent Kanjawala hit and run case, wherein a girl was hit by a car and furthermore dragged for a few kilometers, former IPS officer Kiran Bedi has called out on the revival of an earlier police response system through the police control room vans.

Kiran Bedi in an exclusive ANI interview said, “I think the response system of the police has collapsed. Because, the earlier system of the police control room vans, where you had a mobile police force, there were police vans in hundreds, spread all over the city. It was a very well-established system, developed over the years by respective police commissioners. Sometimes, I do not understand when and why the system was dismantled. The police control vans were handed over and given to police, probably to strengthen their resource– vehicular and manpower.”

Additionally she said, “Instead of the police control room vans, which were like the mobile police force, who were always moving around different corners, on getting a call, they would have responded to the incident.”

Kiran Bedi who has formerly been the Joint Commissioner of Police of Delhi has pointed at the shift in policy which she believes has led to a slow response speed of the police.

“So I think, it was the consequences of a shift or a change in the policy of the police headquarters, when and why I don’t know. But had there been police control room vans, they would have got the message, and the response time would not have been the way it was, she said.

Alongside, she has pointed out at the social collapse of society, she said, “The way our youngsters are being groomed, parented and being educated and the way they are taking the law into their hands, getting drunk at night and over speeding, this is a very serious concern.”
