Authorities ought to break nexus with political executive, recover public trust: CJI N V Ramana
NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India N V Ramana on Friday advised the police to recover its social authenticity and public trust by breaking nexus with the political executive.
The CJI asked the police and all other institutions to wait ethics and integrity.

CJI Ramana described lack of infrastructure and manpower, inhuman conditions at most affordable levels, absence of contemporary devices, questionable methods of obtaining proof, officers stopping working to abide by the rulebook and lack of accountability of officers as some of the concerns negatively affecting the policing system.
