This is one of a number of changes in the job responsibil- ities of the police force the gov- ernment intends to bring about.
It will be incorporated as an amendment to the Delhi Police Act, likely to passed before the year-end. The proposed amend- ments were released on Friday. Another amendment sug- gests that the making of hoax calls and stalking should both be punishable offences. "No per- son shall wilfully make crank telephone calls or stalk any per- son with the intent to create a sense of harassment, nuisance, injury or fear," the draft says, spelling out the punishment for these crimes.
Till now there was no specif- ic law under which these offend- ers could be booked, and thus they often got off lightly.
