Delhi Car Horror: The Kanjhawala case, in which a 20-year-old woman was hit by a car on New Year’s Eve and dragged for many kilometers before she died, has stirred debates regarding the efficacy of the country’s present police response system. The earlier system, which comprised police control room vans that worked as a mobile police force, has been asked for to be brought back by former IPS officer Kiran Bedi, who had held the position of Joint Commissioner of Police in Delhi. In an interview with ANI, Bedi said: “I think the response system of the police has collapsed. Because, of the earlier system of the police control room vans, where you had a mobile police force, there were police vans in hundreds, spread all over the city. It was a very well-established system, developed over the years by respective police commissioners. Sometimes, I do not understand when and why the system was dismantled.”

“There is considerable concern about the way our children are being parented and groomed.”
According to Bedi, the speed of the police reaction was slowed down as a result of the elimination of the control room van system. “Instead of the police control room vans, which were like the mobile police force, who were always moving around different corners, on getting a call, they would have responded to the incident… The way our youngsters are being groomed, parented, and being educated and the way they are taking the law into their hands, getting drunk at night and overspeeding, this is a very serious concern.”
