Delhi Police sets up 14-member committee to study new criminal laws and prepare study material for personnel.
The Delhi Police has set up a 14-member committee to study the three new criminal laws and prepare study material for its personnel, officials said on January 3.
The three laws — Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam and Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita — have been cleared by President Draupadi Murmu and are likely to be notified later this month.
The panel will be headed by Special Commissioner of Police Chhaya Sharma and comprises Deputy Commissioner of Police Joy Tirkey, Additional DCP Uma Shankar, Assistant Commissioner of Police Hari Singh, Inspectors Rajiv Kumar, Rajeev Bhardwaj, Naresh Malik, Devender Singh, Arun Kumar, Suresh Kumar, Anil Berwal and Sanjeev Kumar and two sub-inspectors Somveer and Rajni Kant.
The committee, under the chairmanship of Ms. Sharma, will have to prepare course material for the investigating officers of the force for practical understanding and study of new provisions and changes in the procedures, an official said.
An order dated January 2 from the Delhi Police headquarters said the committee may rope in lawyers and retired police personnel to fine-tune the course material to ensure that it is in sync with the judicial process.
The co-opted members will also be useful later in conducting classes for Delhi Police personnel and train them in practical applications of BNS, BSA and BNSS, the order said.
According to officials, the Delhi Police has appointed retired ACPs Rajender Singh and Ram Singh and criminal lawyers Raunak Singh and Akhand Pratap Singh as the co-opt members.

The silent reading movement in the Mylapore-Mandaveli-RA Puram area showed up first at Nageswara Rao Park around two years ago, with modest ambitions, when Balaji launched it along with other reading enthusiasts from the region. This initiative has now moved parks, and seems to set to get entrenched in one. Due to renovation work at Nageswara Park, the reading session became irregular. With the Nageswara Rao park work gaining more surface area, it had to be shifted elsewhere. And it seems set to continue with a newly discovered green patch in RK Nagar in the Sundays to follow.
