• Statement A mentioned in the earlier side as ‘Final Reports Sent’ means cases

in which charge sheet was not filled but investigation completed. In colloquial

police vocabulary Statement A is also known as ‘Case True but not Detected’.

E.g. a murder case in which the body is recovered but no clue is available after

investigation.

• Statement B/C means cases declared false or mistake of fact or law. E.g. in the

recent case of the two girls in Palghar who were arrested for their remarks on Facebook,

the police intend to file Statement C and close the case.

Control Room is short by 145 officers (again a gap of 53%). The shortage in the Traffic Police has come down from 49% in 2011 to 8% in 2012 – this is a welcome step as this

can have significant impact on the increasing number of accidents in the city.

What needs to be done

• Separate Investigation from Law and Order.

• Strengthen and where necessary create infrastructure for

continuous training, forensic labs, crime mapping and crime

forecasting.

• Upgrade the archaic police acts to suit the needs of today.

• Immediately take steps to fill up gaps in the sanctioned and

available strengths of the police force.
