New Delhi, December 20: Police recruitment in almost every state is mired in “corruption” and aspirants do not get jobs as constables and sub-inspectors unless “money” is paid, Union Home Secretary Gopal K Pillai said today.
Pillai also said that he has no doubt whatsoever that police force in the country is “abused and degraded.”
He was speaking at the foundation day ceremony of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) here.
Pillai while voicing his concern over corruption in the police recruitment exercises, said “In almost every state… police recruitment is mired in corruption.
People do not get recruited as constables and sub-inspectors unless money is paid and, therefore, the first level at which you have to stop corruption is at this recruitment process.”
Pillai however said he was happy at the recruitment processs in Uttar Pradesh being “very transparent.
