Jaspal Singh was the Baroda police commissioner when riots broke out in the city in 1982. He was transferred to an innocuous posting, for controlling the riots with alacrity and with a firm hand. He quit the police service soon after. The scenario today in the state is only too familiar to him. Singh, a former BJP minister, tells
that a police officer can only be as good as he is allowed to be. Excerpts:
How do you react to charges about the abettor role of the Gujarat police?
There is a lot of talk of communalisation of the state police.
