Some progress in police reforms and something that exposes how police do tardy investigations

1) Earlier, police reports, FIR. papers, statements, used to come handwritten.

Very difficult to read these papers.

2) Some HC gave direction that all such papers must be given in typed format.

3) Improvement came. Now we can read better.

How this exposes tardiness in police investigation

In one charge sheet, I saw that statements of three witnesses were typed word to word copy. Only names were typed differently. It means, obviously, these statements were planted or false.

These shows tardiness in police investigations.
