Amid heightened scrutiny, about 260 police inspectors and sub-inspectors took a rigorous one-hour test designed to evaluate their reasoning skills and knowledge about three newly enacted criminal laws. This groundbreaking test took place at the Baghpat Police Lines on September 7.

This initiative was championed by Superintendent of Police Suraj Kumar Rai, who observed a lack of effective case pursuit and conviction among officers. The 'Baudhik Kshamta Pariksha' aims to allocate cases based on officers' aptitudes in various policing fields, such as forensics and law knowledge.

Addressing emerging concerns, Rai confirmed that any officer found cheating through videos circulated online would be investigated. Meanwhile, plans are underway to continue conducting these assessments to enhance law enforcement proficiency.
