The rising crime rate in Baghpat has put pressure on the police. Recently, a highway-style murder raised serious questions about law and order. In response, Superintendent of Police (SP) Suraj Kumar Rai has gone into action mode. On Friday night (September 5), he surprised everyone by stepping out on the streets without a uniform or official convoy. His move created a buzz in the entire department.
Midnight inspection without a uniform
SP Suraj Rai started inspecting the roads in the dark of night. He wore no uniform and used no escort vehicles. No one expected this sudden move. He quietly visited police stations and checkpoints. At each spot, he began taking classes of policemen on duty. His tough questions exposed the reality of night policing.
From constables to station officers, everyone had to face him. A video also showed SP Rai saying, “Now I will check the police response time myself, whether indoor or outdoor. My priority is trust, but now I will also verify.” This statement was a strong warning to stop negligence at every level.
Ground check of the police system
The main purpose of this inspection was to test the truth of police presence. SP Rai checked if the station in-charges actually stayed at their posts or not. He verified if beat constables and sub-inspectors were patrolling or resting during night duty. He also raised the key question of why police delay in reaching crime scenes despite the urgent need for quick action.
His sudden inspection revealed many gaps in the lower level of the system. Some posts were active, others were only working in name. SP Rai made it clear that such practices would not be tolerated anymore.
Strict action against negligence
The SP said that he would continue surprise checks in future. The work of policemen will not only be seen on paper but also tested on the ground. If any officer or constable is found careless, strict action will follow immediately.
He sent a loud message that not only criminals but also lazy policemen will not be spared. This new style is not for show, but an effort to fix responsibility and bring discipline.
A new step to curb crime
For the people of Baghpat, rising crime had become a matter of fear. Citizens were asking why incidents occur despite police presence. SP Rai’s midnight inspection is seen as a fresh attempt to restore public confidence. His action shows that accountability will now be the rule.
This initiative signals that both criminals and careless officers are under strict watch. The bold step of SP Suraj Rai may bring visible changes in law and order in the coming days.
