If police commit atrocities then complain against them here, you can call this helpline number
Helpline number begins to be used against police: In reality, the cops had obtained Rs 60,000 from the couple who had returned home after a late night. This is the rationale behind the establishment of a helpline for complaints regarding police officers. In the next fifteen days, a helpline number for reporting complaints against the police will be activated, the administration informed the High Court.
A dedicated line will be established by the Gujarati government to report misbehaviour and other grievances against the police. This information is contained in the affidavit that the state government submitted to the Gujarat High Court. In the affidavit, Advocate General Kamal Trivedi stated that the public awareness campaign and the helpline number, 14449, will launch within the next 15 days. The Advocate General told the bench during the hearing of a PIL filed suo motu that the helpline number would be available 24/7 as a separate venue for reporting instances of police misconduct.
This unique telephone number has been approved by the Union Ministry of Communications. There were technical issues that prevented this service from starting. In 15 days, after the flaws are fixed, it will begin. An incident involving traffic police and Traffic Regulation Brigade (TRB) officers extorting Rs 60,000 from a couple travelling late at night was brought before the court last year suo motu. A bench consisting of Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal and Justice Aniruddha Mai had earlier in the case hearing proposed that a helpline be established for citizens to file complaints against the police.
