Will Make Delhi Safe for Civilians, Says New Police Chief

The police would also coordinate with neighbouring states to control crime.

Tackling terrorism is also on the priority list, Bassi said, adding his aim is to "bring the fear of law into criminals and not of the police".

In order to make Delhi Police more approachable, he said the police force would be instructed to file FIRs for small thefts too. The police would hand over the FIR or a copy of the complaint to the person.

The police would also be instructed to inform the people regarding developments in their case.

Complaints of chain snatching would be registered without delay. In case the person is lying, he or she would be proceeded against as per the Indian Penal Code.

The problem with filing immediate complaints would be that number of FIRs would show a rise, but according to Bassi, it would help them see in which area what crimes are being reported.

"It will help in tackling crime," he said.

On the incident of stunt riding in the capital in which a teenager was killed, he said the stunt riders are not criminals, they are sinners. "We will challan their vehicles, and register cases under relevant sections."
