Public cooperation to police makes the difference, avers encounter specialist Daya Nayak – Times of India

MANGALURU: Indian police work harder and functions more effectively than Scotland Yard Police. What makes difference between Indian police and their Scotland Yard counterparts is the cooperation the famed UK police receive from people, which is absent in India. Moreover, Indians also lack the courtesy to abide by the law, rued Daya Nayak, police sub-inspector, Mumbai Police, better known as ‘Encounter Specialist’ for his exploits in eliminating the underworld.

Inaugurating Rostrum – Speakers’ Club at Alva’s Institute of Engineering and Technology at Mijar near here on Tuesday, Daya Nayak dwelling on ‘Crime, Youth and Society’ said police is responsible for maintaining law and order and citizens are equally responsible to co-operate with the department and follow the law. It is globally accepted that Scotland Yard cops are most effective police force in the world and it is for because of people’s cooperation, he noted.

‘Moral policing’ will not make the system proper, Instead citizens supporting police in maintaining and following law will definitely make a difference said’ Daya Nayak said and called on the students to excel in one field and advised them to contribute their valuable service to this country in one or another way. On his chequered career, he said, “If I am getting punishment for doing good work, I will not go back from doing that. If I am found guilty, law will punish me.”

Even after more than 70 years of Indian Independence, the Police Act has still not been amended. We still follow the outdated Police Act, he lamented. Success is a guaranteed virtue, but it takes a lot of excellence and caliber to achieve it, he said adding as long an individual’s conscious is clear, no one can stop one from achieving any heights in life. He exhorted the AIET management to make the students aware of law by conducting law courses in the college.
