The\u00a0Delhi High Court\u00a0on Thursday told the police that there is a need to improve its “working mechanism” to curb heinous crimes like gang rapes.<\/p>\n
A division bench chief justice NV Ramana said justice Pradeep Nandrajog said that despite their earlier direction to police to ensure safety of women, rapes were being committed.<\/p>\n
The court, on its own initiative, took note of the Dec 16, 2012\u00a0gang rape\u00a0of a woman in a moving bus here and issued orders to police.<\/p>\n
“The implementation of such directions is the real issue and you need to improve the working mechanism,” the bench said.<\/p>\n
The court asked special public prosecutor Dayan Krishnan to place on record the shortage of personnel for investigation of cases.<\/p>\n
“The\u00a0Delhi Police\u00a0will file an affidavit disclosing the number of vacancies of assistant sub-inspectors, sub-inspectors and inspectors and the number of women personnel. The affidavit will also disclose their duties in police stations,” the court said.<\/p>\n
It asked the central and Delhi governments to file affidavits giving the number of forensic laboratories in the city.<\/p>\n
The court would next hear the case Oct 3.<\/p>\n
