Baghpat Police Take One-Hour Exam on New Criminal Laws, Results Under Review

The exercise feeds a push to match police duties to aptitude.

Overview

  • About 260 inspectors and sub-inspectors, including 42 women, sat a 75-question test on September 7 at Baghpat Police Lines.
  • The objective exam assessed knowledge of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.
  • Superintendent of Police Suraj Kumar Rai conceived the initiative and is personally checking answer sheets to gauge performance.
  • High scorers will handle key cases, underperformers will receive training in the department’s training cell, and officials plan to repeat the assessments.
