2,000 cops in ‘doubtful integrity’ list

The Vigilance Branch of the Delhi Police has put about 2,000 Delhi Police personnel under confidential lists of “doubtful integrity” in the past three years.

A police officer said these men were not given any sensitive postings or assignments. According to a senior police officer of the Vigilance Branch,a total of 1,983 personnel were put in two lists between 2006 and 2009 — 793 in the Secret List of (personnel with) Doubtful Integrity and 1,190 in the Agreed List of (personnel with) Doubtful Integrity.

The year 2007 had the longest list with 819 personnel,followed by 2009 with 733 and 2008 with 431 personnel. The names of some of these personnel were,however,later removed after probes. The Vigilance Branch had last year cleared the names of 363 personnel from its Secret List and 384 from the Agreed List after investigations.
