Nimish Patil, DCP Trans-Hindon, said that three police officers are stationed in each room, working in 8-hour shifts.
Under this plan, 86 CCTV cameras have been installed across the three zones of the Ghaziabad commissionerate, out of which 68 are at police stations and 18 at ACP courts.
"Through 24/7 surveillance, we will monitor the conduct of police officers and their behaviour towards any visitor or complainant.
If any suspicious activity is detected, the monitoring officers will immediately inform the DCP of the zone. Additionally, we will ensure that there are no unnecessary detentions, and all complaints are addressed appropriately," DCP Patil said.
In Jan 2023, Ghaziabad Police took disciplinary action against two head constables for accepting bribes. The incident came to light when footage of the incident surfaced on social media platforms, prompting an official investigation.
In April 2024, four police officers, including a former SHO of Muradnagar, were arrested for allegedly demanding bribes to dismiss a case. To facilitate and ensure transparency in police services provided under the Citizen Charter, a feedback cell was established to gather applicants' feedback on police conduct and transparency during passport verification, character verification, tenant verification, and the filing of FIRs.

Delhi man shot dead near Gurgaon's Kherki Daula Toll Plaza; second shooting incident in SPR area in 3 weeks
A Delhi resident was shot dead in Gurgaon Monday night in what is the second incident involving a shooting in public in the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) area in three weeks. The deceased has been identified as Rohit Shokeen, 39, son of Mahaveer Singh, a resident of Kamruddin Nagar in Delhi's Nangloi, which comes under the Nihal Vihar police station limits. He was gunned down off the SPR Road close to Kherki Daula Toll Plaza in Sector 77 at around 9 pm, the police said. 'The incident is believed to have stemmed from a long-standing property dispute,' a spokesperson for the Gurgaon police said early on Tuesday. 'A detailed investigation is underway to ascertain the circumstances behind the murder. A First Information Report (FIR) will be registered, and further action will be taken based on the evidence collected,' the spokesperson added. According to the police, Shokeen sustained three gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a nearby hospital after Virender Saini, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Manesar, and multiple police teams reached the site after receiving information about a wounded man. Shokeen was declared dead on arrival at the hospital, sources indicated. Authorities have yet to make any arrests in this connection, but police teams remained at the site until at least midnight. The development comes a little over a fortnight after Haryanvi singer-rapper Rahul Fazilpuria, 35, was shot at in the Southern Peripheral Road section near Badshahpur in Gurgaon's Sector 71. He had escaped unhurt in the incident. Fazilpuria was allegedly standing near his SUV when the attackers arrived in another car and opened fire. Soon after, the singer got into his car and sped away. The attacker could not chase him due to the traffic, and he reportedly managed to escape. According to Fazilpuria, the attackers fired at him multiple times, but he was not injured and his vehicle was not damaged. Soon, the police arrested a Sonepat resident who allegedly carried out the recce for the shooting. Later, a post surfaced on social media in which a person claimed responsibility for the shooting and said it was the fallout of a financial dispute involving Rs 5 crore that the singer had allegedly not repaid. CCTV footage had also emerged of a Tata Punch car following the singer prior to the shooting.

'Fight political battles outside court, not here', CJI tells Karnataka minister
New Delhi, Aug 4 (UNI) The Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal filed by Karnataka Minister Shivananda S. Patil, challenging a Karnataka High Court decision that had quashed his defamation case against BJP MLA Basanagouda R. Patil Yatnal. Patil's counsel sought to contest the High Court's order dated September 28, 2024, which had set aside the proceedings, citing non-compliance with the mandatory procedure under the Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). It was alleged that Yatnal made defamatory remarks against Patil during a rally ahead of the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections, tarnishing his image despite his Cabinet status. At the outset, Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, sitting with Justice K. Vinod Chandran, made his stance clear and said, 'Fight political battles outside the court, not here.' When the lawyer tried to press the appeal, the CJI responded curtly, 'So what?' and imposed a cost of Rs 25,000, which he later escalated to Rs 1 crore. However, the cost was waived after the lawyer requested withdrawal of the appeal. The Karnataka High Court had ruled that the magistrate failed to follow due process under Section 223 of the BNSS. According to the provision, a magistrate must first examine the complainant and any witnesses under oath and provide an opportunity for the accused to be heard before taking cognisance. The High Court found these steps were skipped, invalidating the trial process. With the apex court's dismissal, the High Court's decision stands, bringing the defamation case against Yatnal to a close. UNI SNG RN

Police arrest notorious bicycle thief; recover stolen cycles
Jaipur: A team of Vidyadhar Nagar police arrested a bicycle thief and recovered 19 high-end cycles stolen from various neighborhoods in Jaipur Monday. DCP (North) Karan Sharma said that the accused, Rahil Swami alias Kabbu, is a resident of Old Vidyadhar Nagar and admitted to stealing over 50 bicycles. Police teams analysed more than 100 CCTV camera footages from across the area to identify and track the suspect. Swami, who is reportedly addicted to drugs, was seen entering residential colonies and walking away with unlocked bicycles left outside homes and parks. The arrest was made on Aug 2 following a complaint filed by a local resident who reported the theft of a child's bicycle from a park on Vishwakarma Road. Acting on the complaint, special teams were formed under the supervision of Additional DCP (North) Bajrang Singh Shekhawat and ACP Shastrinagar Shivratan Godara. Two constables, part of the surveillance team, identified Swami from the footage and tracked him down. He was arrested while riding a stolen bicycle. Police said Swami has eight previous cases registered against him, including theft, burglary, and violations of the Arms Act. The 19 recovered bicycles are of various expensive brands, and further investigations are ongoing to trace their original owners. The accused admitted to targeting areas including Vidyadhar Nagar, Vishwakarma, Shastrinagar, and Murlipura. Officials said his arrest will help crack several unsolved bicycle thefts in the region. Additional charges may be filed as interrogation continues. "He is also a drug addict and needed money to buy drugs. However, he could not find any stable employment due to his drug habits. He said he also tried to steal motorcycles but found it very difficult and decided to target bicycles, which were easy to sell in the black market," said an official.
