The chief of one of the top central police forces has asked its personnel to perform their duties "fearlessly" and that he would take "responsibility and accountability" for their decisions. Gyanendra Pratap Singh, the Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), gave the pep talk at the central force's investiture ceremony, days after the CRPF's riot-control unit RAF clashed with protesters in the national capital over exam paper leaks.
The Rapid Action Force (RAF) had used pellet guns at the protest, drawing criticism over alleged use of excess force. "As the Director General of the CRPF, I want to assure each one of you that whether it is an operational battalion or a law-and-order unit, whatever decisions you take and whatever actions you carry out in the bonafide discharge of your duties, I take responsibility for all those decisions and actions," Singh said.
