Gujarat DGP Orders: No Accused Processions | Human Rights Protection The Gujarat Director General of Police (DGP) has issued a strict written directive prohibiting the public display of accused individuals in criminal cases. The order mandates that police personnel must not subject accused persons to degrading treatment, including public humiliation, physical abuse, or any form of disrespect. The directive emphasizes the importance of safeguarding human rights and ensuring that legal procedures are followed even when dealing with serious offenses. According to the DGP's instructions, accused individuals, regardless of the severity of their alleged crimes, must be treated within the bounds of the law. The directive explicitly bans actions such as publicly humiliating accused persons, using force or sticks to inflict pain, or compelling them to perform gestures like joining hands or being physically restrained. These measures are intended to prevent the erosion of dignity and the violation of fundamental rights. The order also highlights the responsibility of the police to ensure the safety of accused individuals from violent crowds or public unrest. Police are instructed to maintain strict vigilance during the process of presenting accused persons before magistrates, ensuring that they are not exposed to any form of public hostility. This directive aims to balance the need for public safety with the protection of individual rights. The DGP's directive comes in response to recent incidents where videos of police officers mistreating accused persons have surfaced. These incidents have raised concerns about the misuse of power and the potential violation of legal procedures.#legal_experts #director_general_of_police #gujarat_dgp #human_rights_protection #accused_individuals
CV Anand Appointed as New Director General of Police in Telangana S. CV Anand, a senior Indian Police Service officer from the 1991 batch, has assumed the role of Director General of Police (DGP) of Telangana. He succeeds B. Shivadhar Reddy, who retired from the position. Anand, who previously served as the Special Secretary in the Home Department, brings over three decades of experience in police and administrative roles. His career spans critical operations in insurgency-affected districts, modernization of policing, and pioneering initiatives to enhance public safety. Anand’s policing career began in Warangal district as an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), where he worked in regions impacted by Naxalite activities. He led several operations to dismantle insurgent networks, including high-profile encounters that showcased his tactical acumen. His tenure in Hyderabad and Vijayawada saw him implement innovative strategies to combat crime and improve governance. As Hyderabad’s Commissioner of Police, he introduced the "Drunk and Drive" enforcement framework, setting strict protocols for traffic safety. A key milestone in his career was the establishment of the "Lake Police" unit in 2002, which successfully prevented suicides in the Hussain Sagar area, saving thousands of lives. He also launched the Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) to tackle drug trafficking, a initiative that earned international recognition. Anand’s efforts to integrate technology into policing, such as IT-driven reforms in civil supplies, helped the government save approximately ₹2,000 crore in public expenditure. His leadership in enhancing women’s safety was equally notable.#telangana #director_general_of_police #cv_anand #narcotics_enforcement_wing #hussain_sagar
