Abolish the need for official/political sanction to
prosecute bureaucrats, policeman and security forces personnel when they are
accused of committing crimes.
Stop talking about how making police and Army
answerable to the law will somehow demoralize
their morale.
Bring an end to the costly relationship between the police
and the politics.
Ensure that Police/Army
officers who abuse their authorities
and engage in malafide prosecutions
are dismissed from service and
sentences to jail for a
long period of time.
Ensure that criminal
charges against law
enforcement personnel are fast-tracked as a matter of routine , so that a powerful
defendant is not able to use his
position to delay proceedings.
Empower the National Human Rights commission with teeth
so that police/Army or State Government cannot brush aside their orders.
Ensure early enactment of pending legislation broadening
the ambit of several crimes.
Take steps to introduce a system of protection of witness and complainants.
Ensure robust interrogation techniques like narco-analysis
against accused officers.
Media and the high judiciary must also
turn the light inwards
and ask themselves
whether they were also derelict in their duty.
