Lack of officers is becoming a hindrance in the investigation of Manipur violence, one officer is monitoring 500 cases

Manipur Violence: 14 IPS and six inspectors have been sent from six states including Delhi to investigate the violence that took place a few months ago in Manipur. The 42 SITs formed there are investigating 3 thousand cases, but the lack of officers is coming in the way of investigating them better. Officials associated with the investigation say that according to this strength, one inspector has the responsibility of monitoring 7 SITs i.e. about 500 cases, which is not practical.

14 IPS and six inspectors have been sent from six states including Delhi to investigate the violence that took place in Manipur a few months ago. The 42 SITs formed there are investigating 3 thousand cases, but the lack of officers is coming in the way of conducting the investigation in a better manner.

Officials associated with the investigation say that according to this numerical strength, one inspector has the responsibility of monitoring 7 SITs i.e. about 500 cases, which is not practical.

After the investigation of Manipur violence was handed over to CBI, the Central Government has sent 14 IPS (DCP and SP rank) and six Inspectors from Delhi, Maharashtra, Odisha, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh to help in the investigation. These officers will monitor the SIT investigation. Maximum three IPS from Delhi, Harendra Kumar Singh, Shweta Chauhan and Isha Pandey have been selected for investigation.

Officials say that an IPS can monitor three SITs, but an inspector may face difficulty in monitoring seven SITs, because one inspector will be responsible for 500 cases. This can cause many types of problems.
