Corruption is part of system: DGP Nagrale
Responding to a question, regarding the most cases of corruption revolves around the Police Department, the DGP clarified that more cases of corruption in the Police Department actually means there’s exposure to such cases among the department.
“Corruption is a part of the system. We cannot rule out 100% corruption. As per the law, one can prevent corruption but cannot eliminate it from the system. However, as far as more cases of corruption are concerned, there’s exposure of such cases in the Police Department. And this exposure actually works to instill fear among officials who indulge in such activities,” said Nagrale and added, “The constant supervision from the superior officer can only avert officials involved in such incidents.”
20,000 vacancies in Maharashtra Police:

Though, due to the recent increase in incidents of body offences, I’ve directed Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar to initiate preventive action in this regard. Nagpur CP has already chalked out a foolproof blueprint and launched the crackdown on the anti-social elements. Eight MPDAs are also in pipeline,” said DGP Nagrale
