The Delhi police
lost the password
for a portal that hosted complaints that had been passed on by the
Central Vigilance Commission after an initial vetting. 667 complaints
had been judged serious enough to be passed onto the police since the
password was lost in 2006, but none have been acted upon, because no one
had the password. Now they have the password. Presumably, the 667
unserved complainants believed the police to be either too slow or
incompetent to have gotten back to them.
Each Delhi government department under the CVC, including the MCD, DDA
and several investigating agencies, have a chief vigilance officer to
look into complaints. If a complaint reaches the CVC, either it tackles
it independently or it sends it to the concerned department.
In 2006, a portal monitored by the CVC was created, putting the
complaints it sent to departments online. Each department could access
the portal with a password. Complaints regarding the Delhi Police were
also sent to the portal.
Every year, the CVC holds meetings with government departments to take
stock of the complaints with them. Sources said that since 2006, the CVC
had got no feedback on complaints pending with the police.
