English Being Taught To Cops In Maha To Handle Sensitive Cases
Hindustan Times Patna
|February 26, 2025
Constables and other low-ranking police officers in the Mira-Bhayander-Vasai-Virar (MBVV) region are undergoing spoken English classes to help them interact better with suspects and complainants and investigate sensitive cases.
MUMBAI:
"When any visitor to a police station starts speaking in English, some policemen stop talking because of the language barrier and find it difficult to comprehend what is being said. The training will help them overcome these problems," a senior police officer posted in the MBVV region told Hindustan Times.
As an example, senior officers mentioned the case of Aftab Poonawala, who was arrested in Delhi for allegedly killing his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar in May 2022, chopping her body into at least 35 pieces, storing them in a refrigerator for about three months, and dumping them in a Gurgaon forest and other parts of south Delhi.
