Police authorities have ordered legal action against personnel who check citizens without wearing nameplates on their uniforms.
The move follows complaints about officers conducting nighttime checks at checkpoints without properly identifying themselves. Senior officials have directed police stations to act against such personnel.
Action Against Officers Without Nameplates
According to police sources, officers frequently establish checkpoints at night to check citizens. However, several complaints have emerged about personnel conducting these checks without visible nameplates.
Following the complaints, senior police officials ordered cases against officers found violating the identification requirement.
Sources said some personnel were even detained on Canal Road after checking citizens without wearing nameplates.
The development has prompted authorities to reinforce instructions across police stations. All Station House Officers (SHOs) have been directed to take immediate action against officers who conduct checks without nameplates.
Citizens Asked to Contact Police Helpline
Police authorities have also urged citizens to remain alert during nighttime checks.
They advised people to immediately call 15 if an officer stops them for checking without wearing a nameplate.
The instructions aim to ensure that police personnel can be clearly identified during roadside checks. Authorities also want to address complaints involving unidentified officers and improve accountability during citizen checks.
