Challenges in Police Investigation in India

The current police force is plagued by numerous shortcomings. The nation's police force is in poor shape for a variety of reasons, including issues with organization, infrastructure, and environment; outdated weapons and intelligence gathering methods; a lack of personnel; and corruption. It's arguable who has more authority over the police and how. Political executives oversee and have authority over both the Central and State police forces in accordance with the police statutes. As a result, there isn't enough direction or democratic functioning. Political bosses' wishes often dictate changes to police priorities. The police department appears to have been reduced to a political puppet. There isn't a system in place to file a complaint against negligent police officers. The Supreme Court and the Second Administrative Reform Commission have agreed that it is necessary to have an impartial complaint body to look into instances of police misconduct. The author will make some recommendations on how to enhance the administration and investigative process.
