Is there just one police force in India?

Reported on  June 2, 2017 from Robin Zutshi

No. Each state has its own police force under the control of the government of that state. So there are many police forces in the country. Police that work in parts of India that are directly under the control of the central government like the capital Delhi, Chandigarh, Puducherry, Daman and Diu, Lakshwadeep Islands, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Andaman and Nicobar Islands come under the control of the central government.

Sir i want to ask is land agreement compulsory even if i hav bank passbook,gas connection paper, ration card for police verification?police says its compulsory and i dont have. Please tell me what to do??

Reported on  May 26, 2017 from Vipul

It is not clear from your question what the nature of police verification is that you are talking about. Generally, documents such as passport, driving license, Aadhar card, voter ID, ration card are sufficient to prove your identity. For proof of address, electricity or telephone bills may be required. Land agreement document is not required for police verification unless the verification involves your land or property matters.

You can send your plea to the Vice Chancellor of the University concerned to which this college is affiliated or the Vigilance Commissioner or the Anti-Corruption Bureau if it is a Government Medical college.

It is commendable that you want to take a stand against corruption. It is possible that the people concerned may not be happy with the state of affairs but you will certainly show your strength of character if you stand up for what is right.

What is the meaning of police powers?

Reported on  May 18, 2017 from A Citizen

The police have all sorts of different powers, all of which are given by law and  they must use them only according to the procedure laid down in the law and regulations. So they can make arrests, carry out search and seizures, investigate offences, questions witnesses, interrogate suspects, disperse unruly crowds and maintain order  in society, but they have to do it strictly in the way the law lays down and not any other way. They cannot act just as they wish or want to. Any abuse of power or negligence of duty will amount to a breach of discipline, civil wrong or a crime and the police officer is liable to be punished.
