Naidu Orders Andhra SPs to Enforce ‘Four Rs’ and Treat Political Crimes as Crimes

The directive links policing upgrades to investment goals, pushing rapid-response protocols with tech-led investigations.

Overview

  • Addressing district superintendents, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said law and order is a top priority because investment flows depend on peace and stability.
  • He set a rapid-response framework built on the ‘four Rs’ — React, Reach, Respond, Result — urging officers to reach crime scenes immediately and leverage technology.
  • He instructed police to prosecute offenses committed under the cover of politics without exception.
  • He warned forces to be wary of fake media and social media campaigns, to act against online character assassination of women, and to refuse tolerance for conspiracies framed as protests.
  • He cited the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy case as a caution against false narratives and pressed for updated investigative methods and legal awareness to meet evolving criminal tactics.
