Chapter 18: The Evils of Indian Grassroots Police
"Bongkao, it's so difficult, Rodon, I advise you to be more practical and stop daydreaming, wasting time and money." Love said.
Although he said it was advice, the contemptuous tone was not concealed at all.
The same look appeared on the faces of others.
It doesn't mean that you just need to pass the written test. You also need to have an interview and so on. Low-level police officers like them, who have no money and no connections, rarely have a chance to get a job.
The noise outside attracted Ada and Gert to come out of the office.
Roton noticed the two of them and said loudly, "So what if I take the national exam? I'm also going to take the federal civil service exam."
When these words came out, not only did Love and others open their mouths wide, even Yada and Gert were stunned.
They dare not even think about taking the federal civil service exam.
"Gert, I just want to tell you something." After coming back to his senses, Yada looked at Gert and said.
He didn't take Roton's words seriously. Even if Roton went to Bangkao, he probably wouldn't have much chance.
However, as his confidant, he would certainly be happy to see if Rawdon really passed the state civil service exam.
"Director, go ahead," Gert said hastily.
Ever since he learned from the Inspector General that Chief Shah would be transferred in the near future, he has kept a much lower profile in the police station. He can't say that he actively cooperates with Yada's orders, but at least he doesn't interfere.
"I just received a call from my superiors, saying that All India Television is planning to shoot a documentary about the current situation of grassroots police officers in Mumbai, and they need the cooperation of our grassroots police stations. I thought that since you are good at English, you will be responsible for the reception when the time comes." Yada said, "Of course, they may not choose our jurisdiction, but we still have to be prepared."
"This?" Gert hesitated.
"What's wrong? What's the difficulty?" Yada asked.
"Director, it's like this. I'm going to take a week off. My father is seriously ill, so I have to rush back. I just wanted to find a time to talk to you about this." Gert explained, "Director, as for English, Rotten is pretty good. He should be able to act as a translator."
"Your father is seriously ill, so this matter cannot be delayed. I believe he will get better." Yada did not force him, "Go ahead, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the bureau."
"Director, I'll go back now."
Gert left the police station and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The Inspector General has already informed him that All India Television is coming to Mumbai to shoot a documentary.
The Inspector General meant for him to stay away from this matter and not get involved.
The Inspector General was well-informed. It was said that the All India Television had already made a documentary in Delhi about the grassroots police in Delhi. Although the film had not yet been released to the public, its content had been known to some federal senior officials. The poor performance of the police officers made the senior officials furious. Many senior officials in the Delhi police system were criticized, and some were even dismissed from their posts.
The content of the documentary can be said to be shocking. All kinds of illegal behaviors of grassroots police officers were filmed, which had a great impact on the top leaders, who felt that the police system needed to be rectified.
So everyone thinks that when All India Television comes to Mumbai to shoot a documentary, it will most likely expose the various illegal behaviors of grassroots police officers, just like in Delhi.
Who would dare to get involved in such an unlucky thing?
If I were to go to receive them, and then all the crimes of the grassroots police in Mumbai would be exposed, I would be implicated and would definitely be hated by the senior officials in the police system. The Inspector General would not be able to protect me at all.
Gert cursed inwardly, what was this? Knowing English should have been an advantage, but now it had brought him trouble.
Precisely because he knew English, regardless of whether Yada already knew about it or not, the task of reception would be given to him first, and he simply could not refuse.
So he found an excuse that his father was sick and stayed away from Mumbai, the troubled place. Since he was not there, what happened next would have nothing to do with him.
"Roton, don't run around recently. Keep your phone turned on. I may need you at any time." Yada looked at Roton and said.
Now that Gert was gone, the task of English translation naturally fell on Rotten.
"Yes, Chief." Rawdon responded immediately.
All India Television is India's national television station, so its influence is naturally huge.
Roton began to search his memories of his past life, and there really was something about the documentary about grassroots police.
He even watched the documentary about it. The All India Television actually made two documentaries about grassroots police, one in Delhi and one in Mumbai.
However, the Delhi one was not screened publicly. Only some inside stories were mentioned in the declassified version. The documentary about Mumbai Police was screened publicly.
The thing is, at the request of the top federal government officials, the All India Television was responsible for filming documentaries about the real daily life of grassroots police officers, such as their duties, life, etc.
The first city chosen by the TV station was Delhi, after all, it is the capital.
During the filming in Delhi, the TV station wanted the Delhi Police Department to cooperate, but most of the police were engaged in various frauds and the TV station was not so easy to fool, so it directly exposed all the undercover footage.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If these images were released, they would definitely cause an earthquake in the police system.
Therefore, the leaders of the TV station were cautious, fearing that the impact would be too great and out of control. As a result, they did not broadcast it publicly directly, but showed it to the heads of the departments above and asked them to make a decision.
As a result, the Delhi documentary was not broadcast publicly in the end, but was handled internally.
Under the auspices of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Delhi police system was cleaned up and reorganized.
The Indian police system is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Interior, unlike China which has a dedicated Ministry of Public Security.
In other words, the police chiefs of each state report directly to the Minister of Home Affairs.
The documentary in Delhi could not be broadcast publicly, so All India Television prepared to shoot another one and chose Mumbai as the destination.
This is a serious threat to the Mumbai police.
Everyone knows clearly what the police below are like.
As both are police systems, Mumbai is certainly aware of the dire situation of the Delhi police system.
Many senior police officers have been dismissed, and now it will be the turn of Mumbai, and even some senior police officers in Maharashtra will be affected.
However, Roton knew the real intention of the Indian top leaders.
Since the content of the first filming was too explosive, the top leaders were also afraid of causing a strong reaction from the public and leading to social unrest.
In India, marches and strikes are very common.
Once this issue concerning the police is exposed, the opposition will definitely take the opportunity to mobilize the people to cause trouble, which is something the ruling party does not want to see now.
Therefore, the federal top brass asked the All India Television to appropriately reduce the exposure of various grassroots illegal activities and to increase the shining points of some grassroots police officers, so as to enhance the image of the police system among the people.
In recent years, the Indian police have had a very bad reputation, making it difficult to carry out many tasks, and the government also wants to make some improvements to this situation.
