Act according to law without waiting for orders: Kiran Bedi to young police officers
New Delhi, July 27 : Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Friday urged the young Superintendents of Police (SP) to act according to law without waiting for orders from their superiors.
"Young police officers should be always remain true to the spirit of serving the police force since it concerns the safety of life, liberty and well-being of every citizen. Always act according to the letter and spirit of law without waiting for orders from their superiors," Bedi said in her valedictory address to the second Conference of Young SPs.
The conference was organised by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) in collaboration with Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Ficci).
Bedi, a former Indian Police Service officer, said that the SPs shoulder a great responsibility as they are the leaders on the ground while senior officers play supervisory role.
"Urged the young Superintendents of Police to 'break free' of anxiety of the next posting. Instead give their best to any position they get. Enjoy the work by upholding of law. Have a day plan. Visit the field daily, interact with the staff and take a regular feedback. Keep learning," she said later in a tweet.
Bedi was all praise for the BPR&D for bringing together young police officers and technologically advanced companies dealing in security equipment besides the experts in this field.
Recalling her days with BPR&D as its chief, she expressed her satisfaction over its subsequent growth.
"This should be made mandatory for every SP instead of limiting it to only 100 of them," she said about the two-day conference of young SPs.
She further suggested that BPR&D should start one-time training for the benefit of the entire police force on relevant subjects by use of appropriate technology.
Director-General of BPR&D, A. P. Maheshwari hailed Bedi as a symbol of women's empowerment besides being a Magsaysay Award winner and an extraordinary police officer.
"An institution like the BPR&D should be set up at the State-level to meet the growing needs of the State Police Forces and train the police personnel as per the local needs and conditions," he said.
The first Young SPs Conference was held in 2017 and this was the second such event. The conference was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
