New Delhi, Jan 5: Delhi Police was at the receiving end yet again today with activists slamming it for allegedly bickering over jurisdiction when the 23-year-old gangrape victim and her male friend were fighting for their life on that fateful night.
They sought strict action and FIR against the police personnel who were on duty on December 16 when the ghastly incident took place in South Delhi, saying it has “exposed the practices of the Delhi Police” which have been unnoticed for long.
Former IPS officer and activist Kiran Bedi, who served with the Delhi Police for decades, said the policemen who arrived on the spot could have registered FIR on their own as no law prescribes that the document can be registered only under a particular police station.
“It is happening everyday. That is why people have lost faith in Police. This practice has been there for long and now they have been caught. There is no law that bars police from registering FIR. It can be registered at one station and then transferred,” she said.
