‘Police must upgrade their skills’
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, while appreciating the work of the Karnataka State Police as “efficient”, said the conviction rate and the quantum of punishment in crimes in the State was “not satisfactory”. Speaking after inaugurating the annual IPS officers conclave on Monday, he said, “officers’ work does not end with detection of crimes, but they need to meticulously follow up on cases, ensure witnesses do not turn hostile,and get good convictions. The quantum of punishments being awarded in conviction cases is not satisfactory.” He said all Superintendent of Police and above rank officers, including DG&IGP, need to have a dashboard through which they have to constantly monitor cases. “Judgments and observations made by the courts need to be studied and inculcated in upcoming investigations,” Mr. Bommai said.More Related News
