New Delhi Seventy-seven policemen, including 11 Sub-Inspectors, were sacked by Delhi Police last year for their involvement in criminal cases while 1,073 others faced disciplinary action for the same.

Besides 11 Sub-Inspectors, 45 constables and 11 Head Constables were dismissed from service for being involved in criminal cases.

“We won't take cases of corruption or any misconduct lightly and the results are in front of you,” Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal told reporters during the annual press conference in New Delhi.

While services of 194 were forfeited, 84 were punished by withholding increment and 790 by censure.

The highest number of those involved in criminal cases were from the constabulary. While 470 constables faced punishment during 2008, the number of head constables who faced the music were 226.

A total of 102 Inspectors were punished in this regard last year while the number for Sub-Inspectors were 166 and Assistant Sub-Inspectors 175.

Action had been taken against 102 “delinquent” police personnel, including two Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs). The DCPs were served with advisory memo.

CRIMINALS IN POLITICS by B S GANESH BANGALOR on 03 Jan 2009

The police head has done excellent job of disciplineing police. such police men instead of catching criminals and terrorists have acted as hard core criminals. Such persons deserve capital punishment mercilessly. I am sure such criminal police men must had the support of criminal politicians. This may be a tip of the iceberg of Indian politics and administration. This is why criminals, traitors and terrorists are growing at an alsarming rate.

Please inform public of their religion and caste also. by Shameless Indian Secular Hindu on 03 Jan 2009

These methods might be used to get rid of secular and progressive communities of muxlim, Xtian, or SC/ST/OBC progressives from security forces under influence of right wing Hindus. Hence, the religion and caste of "disciplined" policemen and women must be immediately released and made newspaper headline to establish proper secularism in India.

How can criminals fight criminals? by Kunjumon on 02 Jan 2009

This is really alarming figures for Police dept. How can we trust these guys if they themselves are criminals? How can a honest police officer trust his team members who participate in encounters? What is wrong if someone doubt that Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma was shot by his own men?
