An officer of Special Commissioner of Police rank was directed to call a meeting of all Special CsP and Joint CsP. During the meeting, he exhorted all the officers that integrity must be at the core of all our actions as members of Delhi Police. "We have a "zero-tolerance policy" towards any deviation from this norm. This must be reiterated during the "sampark sabhas" and must be brought home until the last rank of this force," CP told officers.
