Kiran Bedi to
reveal all in revised biography
 NEW
DELHI: Promising to expose how police reform process is "sabotaged"
by the establishment, the country's first woman IPS officer Kiran
Bedi is now planning to revise her biography by adding a new chapter
which depicts her last days in policing.
The 58-year-old Magsaysay awardee, whose nearly 38-year-long
association with police came to an end on a bitter note last week,
will add a new chapter to I Dare , a best-seller written by Parmesh
Dangwal, on policing and state of police reforms in the country.
"Believe me, actually the police reform policies formulated by the
Home Ministry are a part to sabotage it completely," an irate Bedi,
whose voluntary retirement plea was accepted last week, claims.
She claims that it was only during her stint as the Director General
of Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D), her last
posting, that she understood the functioning and policy making of
the Ministry of Home Affairs.
"My biography will have another chapter soon. It would be an
eyewitness account of the policy making process and its poor
implementation in the police force," Bedi said.
Revising the book is a step towards achieving the goal of police
reforms in the country, she said, adding she would now campaign for
police reforms.
"I sacrificed my job for the best and police reform is my mission
now," she said.
Bedi's biography describes her early career years, the role she
played in Delhi, Goa and Northeast and work done by her for the
betterment of prisons and prisoners, especially in Tihar jail.
She was sulking since she was superseded by Y S Dadwal for the post
of Delhi Police Commissioner in July this year and had applied for
VRS on November 15.
Bedi, who made a mark as the country's first IPS officer was also
critical about the role of women in police force.
"Women are still an unknown entity in the force. They remain
anonymous," she said.
Bedi had alleged in July, when she was overlooked for the post of
Delhi Police Commissioner, that the government was biased towards
women in police.
