Don't drive cops to the wall, prejudge or humiliate them: Kiran Bedi to top brass

Men and women in uniform should never be driven to the wall, former IPS officer and Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi said on Wednesday and asked senior police officers to protect their subordinates.
Kiran Bedi's comments came in the backdrop of protests by thousands of Delhi Police personnel on Tuesday outside the Police Headquarters for 11 hours against two attacks on their colleagues at the Tis Hazari and Saket court complexes on Saturday and Monday.
The protests were called off after assurances by senior officers that their grievances will be addressed.
"Never drive men and women in uniform to the wall and let them lose faith in their own service and own seniors," she said in a statement.

When police personnel perform their duty "fairly, firmly, fearlessly and responsibly, they need to be protected by the seniors", said Bedi, who retired in the rank of director general of police.
