Chapter III

Indian Police Profile

3.1 History of Indian Police

The First Police Commission was constituted on 17th August 1865. It contained

detailed guidelines for the desired system of policing in India and defined police as a

governmental department to maintain order, enforce the law, and prevent and detect crime.

India, with an area of 32,87,782 Sq. Kms. and a population of 1.21 billion, is a

union of 28 states and 7 union territories . The powers and responsibilities of the Union

and States are demarcated in the Constitution of India. Article 246 of the Constitution of

India places the police, public order, courts, prisons, reformatories, borstal and other allied

institutions in the State List.

Much before the Independence, superior police officers belonging to the Imperial

Police (IP) were appointed by the Secretary of State on the basis of competitive

examination. The very first open Civil Service examination for the service was held in

England in June, 1893 and the top ten candidates were appointed as probationers of the

Indian (Imperial) Police. In around 1907, the Secretary of State’s officers were directed to

wear the letters "IP" on their epaulettes to distinguish them from the other officers not

recruited by the Secretary of State. In this sense, 1907 could be regarded as the starting

point for the Indian Police.

3.2 Tamil Nadu Police

The administrative control of Tamil Nadu Police vests with the Chief Minister of

Tamil Nadu who holds the portfolio of Home Minister. The supervision and co-ordination

of Police is done by the Home Department, Govt. of Tamil Nadu. The Force, headed by a

Director General of Police, is responsible for maintenance of law and order and prevention

and detection of crimes in an area spanning 130058 Sq. Kms. with a population of over 7.2

headed by a Superintendent of Police.

largest strength of women police personnel in the country, the highest number of women

police stations in the country, the first women special police battalion, the first women

Commando Force in the Country, the first established Finger Print Lab in the World, the

first Integrated Modern Police Control Room in the country and has the largest number of

Coimbatore is the second largest city in the State of Tamil Nadu. It is a major

history of modern Coimbatore, however, dates from the 1930s, when the city grew rapidly

capitalizing on a textile boom. Since then, the city has witnessed a steady growth fueled by

its favourable soil, climate and political and economic conditions. Coimbatore has been

45

 ranked 4 th among Indian cities in investment climate by a survey done by the

Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

Coimbatore City Police Commissionerate is functioning from 13.04.1990. The

City has an area of about 23.5 Sq. Kms. with 14.5 lakhs population. The City Police

Commissionerate is functioning under the control of the Commissioner of Police, in the

rank of Inspector General of Police, assisted by Four Deputy Commissioners of Police,

namely Dy.Commissioner of Police, Law & Order, Dy.Commissioner of Police, Crime &

Traffic, Dy.Commissioner of Police, Headquarters and Dy.Commissioner of Police,

Armed Reserve and an Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police for Prohibition

Enforcement Wing. 14 Assistant Commissioners of Police are assisting in the day-to-day

functions. Apart from this, it has a total strength of 1642 local police personnel, 978

Armed Reserve Police personnel and 78 women police personnel including Officers.

Coimbatore City is now known as one of the communally hyper-sensitive places in Tamil

Nadu.

3.3.1 History of Coimbatore City Police (1972 – 2007)

1972

Coimbatore Urban District Police which was in existence with 77 Police Stations and 15

Out-Posts was bifurcated into two Police Districts namely Coimbatore Urban and

Coimbatore Rural, having headquarters at Coimbatore Town, as per G.O.Ms.No.2169,

Home Department, dated 17.08.1972.

1978

In 1978 Singanallur Municipality, four Towns and two Panchayats were added to the

existing area in Coimbatore Municipality and in 1981, it was declared as Municipal

Corporation.

46

 1979

Again Coimbatore Urban District was bifurcated into two Police Districts namely

Coimbatore (Rural) District having Head Quarters at Coimbatore and Periyar District with

Head Quarters at Erode, when the Coimbatore Revenue District was bifurcated as

Coimbatore and Periyar Revenue Districts. Coimbatore Urban District was under the

control of the Superintendent of Police.

1982

Due to industrialisation and boom in the economy, the city made rapid progress, which

resulted in increasing rate of reporting of crimes. But, unlike other cities, Coimbatore has

been facing a peculiar problem. The communal trouble, which started in the late eighties,

assumed alarming proportions. Frequent riots only worsened the situation. Due to

development of the City, several problems arising out of social tensions, more

opportunities for crime and occasionally spontaneous explosion of Law and Order

situation call for an extremely quick response from the Police at the operational levels.

This can be achieved only when the Police are organized in a unitary chain of command

embracing two basic functions of quick decision making and its prompt implementation.

Action taken after prolonged consultation will lead to disastrous consequences. Only the

Commissionerate system could achieve this. The need for introduction of

Commissionerate System in Coimbatore was keenly felt with a view to maintain Law &

Order under control. So on, during the year 1982-83, the Honourable Minister for Finance

announced in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly the introduction of Police

Commissionerate in the City of Madurai and Coimbatore, Mr.R.K.Raghavan, IPS.,

Mr.E.Hariharane, IPS., Mr.V.Chandrakishore, IPS and Mr.R.V.Subramaniam, IPS were

appointed as Special officers and they submitted their proposals for the introduction of the

Commissionerate System in Coimbatore.

47

 1987

During 1987, the Government introduced the Legislative Assembly bill 27 of 1987 on

11.05.1987 urging to enact the Madras City Police (Extension to the City of Madurai and

the City of Coimbatore) Act 1987. The Commissionerate however, is restricted to the

limits of the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation, by virtue of section 2(2) of the Act.

This City Act authorize the Commissioner of Police to exercise powers of District

Magistrate and Executive Magistrate under Cr.PC with certain restrictions.

1989

During 1989, comissionerate system in Coimbatore urban district was introduced. As per

G.O.Ms.No.1445, Home (Police-IV) dated 25.07.1989, Thiru. B.P.Nailwal, IPS lastly

assumed charge of the post of Special Officer and DIG of Police, Coimbatore City on

11.08.1989, studied various aspects such as jurisdictional limits of Commissionerate

System, powers to be exercised by the Commissioner under various enactments both

Magisterial and Executive and other infrastructural facilities, and submitted his

recommendations – vide his letter 844/S1/1989, dated 10.11.1989, to implement the

Commissionerate System in Coimbatore quickly. In a city police setup, there are separate

units for law and order and crime (for prevention and detection). "Due to this the police

are able to focus even on the nitty-gritty of policing. There are two inspectors (one for law

and order and one for crime), four sub-inspectors and nearly 60 in the other ranks in each

City Police Station.

1990

Only on 14.4.1990, the present Commissionerate system was introduced in the cities of

Madurai and Coimbatore as per the G.O.Ms No.803. Governement also sanctioned the

opening of two new police stations one at Selvapuram and another at Saibabacolony in the

commissionerate of Coimbatore. The present Commissionerate System is introduced

48

 within the City limits, with four more Police Stations at CMC Hospital, Rathinapuri,

Selvapuram and Saibaba Colony totally 11 Police Stations. The Commissionerate has 11

Law and order Police Stations and 11 Crime police Stations, 5 Traffic Stations, with

adequate staff. Special Units including Airport Security, consisting of one Commissioner

of Police, four Dy.Commissioners, 14 Assistant Commissioners, 37 Inspectors, 10 Reserve

Inspectors, 91 Sub Inspectors, 35 Reserve Sub Inspectors and 2134 police personnel, with

Women Police Wing, Ministerial and Technical Staff, sufficient vehicles and

communication facilities. The Commissioner of Police exercises powers under 29 Acts.

After the introduction of commissionerate system in Coimbatore City during 1990, the

Periyanaickenpalayam Sub-Division with 13 stations were attached to Coimbatore Rural

District with the staff, vehicles, etc., to function under the control of the Superintendent of

Police, Coimbatore Rural district.

1992 to 1998

Coimbatore City became a centre for the attacks and counter-attacks of the RSS-led Hindu

Munnani and Hindu Makkal Katchi and Muslim fundamentalist organisations like Al-

Umma and the Jihad Committee, from 1983. Conflicts erupted when men belonging to one

religion objected to processions of another passing in front of their places of worship.

Abusive platform speeches were made by both sides. Things came to a head after the

demolition of the Babri Masjid in December 1992. Muslims started spreading religious

fundamentalism. Explosions took place in Chennai, at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh

(RSS) building in August 1993 (18 persons were killed in this incident) and at the Hindu

Munnani office in April 1995. Then in Coimbatore City, Traffic PC Selvaraj was

murdered in November 1997 by AL-Umma which resulted in police firing on Muslims at

Kottaimedu. During 1998, February 14 and 17, Series of Bomb Blasts, codenamed as

“Operation Allahu Akbar”, was executed by Al-Umma in Coimbatore City. The blasts

49

 began around 4 p.m. on February 14 when L.K. Advani, then president of the Bharatiya

Janata Party (BJP), was scheduled to address an election meeting at R.S. Puram in the city

and over 50 people were killed 200 and others were injured. The Government taking into

account of the bomb blasts and the critical Law & Order situations in Coimbatore City and

to facilitate the close watch of the communally sensitive areas and better handling of Law

and orders problems in Coimbatore City, B-1 Bazaar Police Station has been bifurcated

into two new Police Stations at Ukkadam and Variety Hall Road in Coimbatore City.

Coimbatore City Police set up had three sub-divisions, namely East, Central and West.

2005

Due to communal unrest, including riots and serial blasts in late 1990's, proposals were

sent to bring the Podanur sub-division, which comprises Aaatuppalam, Saramedu,

Karumbukkadai and Kuniamuthur, which are hotbed for communal activities, under the

Coimbatore City Police. Communal outfits always operated on either side along the border

and after committing an offence either in the city or in the rural district, they used to take

shelter on the other side. So, coordinating the investigations was always very difficult

because of the jurisdiction issues. During 2005, Tamilnadu State Government has given

approval to the Coimbatore City police to bring the communally sensitive Podanur police

limits (Coimbatore Rural District) into the City Commissionerate. Subsequently, as per

G.O.(Ms.)No.1003, Home (Police.XIV), Department, dated 20.10.2005, Podanur PS of

Coimbatore District has been annexed with the Coimbatore City Police Jurisdiction and

also sanction for formation of two Police Stations at Rathinapuri and Kuniyamuthur.

Rathinapuri PS is formed by bifurcating the existing B3 Kattur PS and Kuniamuthur PS in

jurisdiction of Perur PS. Though they do not fall under the Corporation limits, these two

police stations were brought under Coimbatore city, as a special case. These stations have

separate wings for law and order and crime, additional manpower and vehicles. Then

50

 Coimbatore City Police set-up, which has three sub-divisions (East, Central and West),

was added with one more sub-division (South). The new Coimbatore South sub-division

was formed with Podanur (B-13), Kuniamuthur (B-14), Selvapuram (B-10) and

Ramanathapuram (B-7) police stations. Coimbatore West sub-division was formed with

Big Bazaar Street (B-1), Variety Hall Road (B-8), Ukkadam (B-12) and R.S. Puram (B-2).

Coimbatore Central sub-division was formed with Kattoor (B-3), Race Course (B-4) and

Saibaba Colony (B-11) police stations and Coimbatore East sub-division was formed with

Similarly, Saravanampatti (B-9), Peelamedu (B-6) and Singanallur (B-5) police stations.

The existing outpost at Rathnapuri was upgraded into a full-fledged police station

covering the communally sensitive area namely, Karunanidhi Nagar.

2007

On 19.12.2007 - Kovaipudur village which was within Perur PS in Perur sub-division of

the Coimbatore Rural District Police, was incorporated into B14 Kuniamuthur Police

Station, within Coimbatore City Police limits, for better policing.
