Currently, they have no choice, if they don't listen they get slap from politicans.
Major reform required, Indian police is as bad as any African country.

Politicising police would be dangerous for india. now, the police officers have an obligation to be non-political and see the result. what would happen if the police is on political lines? There are better ways to make them accountable to public. I dont think electing has worked in bringing accountablity to our politicians, i dont see how it would work on policemen. The problem is actually in the selection process. Way too much nepotism and influence is affecting the selection process. We need to use RTI to publish the selection results and get accountability in the police selection. That would not help immediately, but there will be hope for the future.
