In her first major step after doffing her police uniform, Kiran Bedi on Thursday unveiled a website, ‘Mission Safer India’, to register complaints from the public. She used the occasion to point out inefficiency in the police as well, and pulled them up for hiding facts from the public.

While announcing, www.saferindia.com, Bedi, India’s first woman police officer who retired last month, said that police officials were misleading the media and citizens by manipulating statistics. “Not even a single police officer has dared to reveal the correct crime graph.”

She also said that police officials were not addressing complaints from people, and by refusing to probe criminal cases were actually encouraging criminals. “In my endeavour to bring reforms in policing, today we are launching a mechanism through which we would ask people to register their grievances with our website,” she said at the launch.“The victims’ complaint would be forwarded to the respective police chiefs with a copy to the complainant.”
