She made a mark as the country's first IPS officer. And bidding the police service adieu, Kiran Bedi [Images] lamented that her sisters in the force continued to be an unknown entity.
"Women are still an unknown entity in the force. They remain anonymous and the government thinks they are unpredictable," Bedi, who ended her 37-year-old eventful career in the police force on Wednesday, said.[right][snapback]76441[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Kiran Bedi is wrong here, Women police are a respected part of police forces in every state in the country. Tamil nadu has a all-woman commando unit and many all-woman police stations have been opened in TN. A woman officer was even the incharge of Chennai Law&Order Branch. I fail to see why Kiran tries to portray a negative image about women police officers.
Regarding her not getting promoted it is due to political reasons. Police officers seen as close to the ruling party get promoted to sensitive posts during congress rule. The gender has nothing to do with this.
Books have been written on the contribution of women police officers to the society.
