Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 59 Interview-Free Reward

Interior Minister Palaniappan's words made everyone present look surprised.

Especially the bigwigs in the Mabang police system.

What’s going on? Is the real big boss of the police system dissatisfied with the reward he has set?
This is not a good thing for them.

Especially the director of the Mabang General Administration, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Although he was not directly dismissed like Hassan when the responsibility for the Mumbai terrorist attacks was investigated, he also took responsibility and will have to retire in a year or two.

If something goes wrong next, I'm afraid I might be fired in the next year or two.

After all, there are too many people eyeing my position. They just want me to make mistakes again and want me to get out immediately.

Pirando's eyes lit up. He had previously proposed to promote Rotun to the third level and then to serve as the deputy chief of the Spanda Police Station. In his opinion, Rotun's contribution was fully worthy of it.

Unfortunately, many of the guys above felt that Rawdon was originally just a small sheriff, at the police officer level, and not even a civil servant. It was very unusual for him to be promoted two levels at once and become a deputy inspector.

Obviously, most of the people above agreed with this opinion and didn't care about the people below at all. Even though Rotun had made such a great contribution, in their eyes he was probably just a slightly bigger ant and could be sent away with some benefits.

The Indian Federal Minister of Home Affairs holds an extraordinary position. Among many ministers, his position is definitely the most advanced.

It can even be said that the Minister of the Interior is the Prime Minister's most trusted confidant. As his right-hand man, he is second only to the Prime Minister.

The Home Minister has such a status naturally because of the power he holds. He is mainly responsible for public security and safety issues in India and controls the police system, a huge and violent law enforcement agency.

There are more than 230 million police officers in India, and the police are divided into ordinary public security police and armed police.

The public security police are local state police officers like Rawdon, who are responsible for patrolling, maintaining law and order, and catching petty thieves.

The Armed Police is a paramilitary combat force with nearly 70 people, including the Assam Rifles, Border Security Force, Reserve Police Force, etc., among which the Reserve Police Force has the largest number of people, about 40.

When the public security police are unable to handle the situation, especially in large-scale events such as marches and strikes, riots such as smashing and looting are likely to break out, and the reserve police will be called in for reinforcement, which is equivalent to China's armed police.

The Indian government established paramilitary combat forces mainly to target the army. Because the government had weak control over the army, the government developed its own armed forces to counter the army.

For example, the border security forces are deployed on the border, but they actually exercise the powers that originally belonged to the regular army. This is a power struggle between the government and the military.

So no one dared to neglect Palaniappan's words, and everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for his next words.

"Roden, I heard you're planning to apply for the federal civil service?" Palaniappan asked. Before Roden could answer, he continued, "I've seen the Mumbai police documentary. There's an interview with you. That's what you said, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Minister," Rawdon replied immediately.

The documentary about the Mumbai police has been broadcast on TV. Many people present have seen it, and of course those in the police system have certainly seen it.

However, some people did not pay attention to Fia's interview with Roton about taking the civil service exam. After all, these bigwigs would not take a small-time sheriff seriously, and even if they saw it, they would just skip it.

"The Prime Minister himself said that, in recognition of your outstanding contribution to the Mumbai terrorist attacks, you will be granted..." At this point, Palaniappan paused, immediately whetting everyone's appetite. Roden's heartbeat quickened. Could it be that he was being directly granted federal civil service status? That would be incredible! Wouldn't that make him take off on the spot?
Once you obtain the IPS status, you will be at least a fourth-level superintendent, which is equivalent to being promoted four levels in a row. Add to that the IPS status, isn’t this award too amazing?
Luo Dun remembers that later, at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, an Indian javelin thrower won a gold medal. It was the only gold medal among the seven medals won by the Indian delegation at that Olympics, and the first athlete to win a gold medal in a track and field event in India's centennial Olympic history. Overnight, he became a national hero in India, and even the old immortal personally wrote a message to congratulate him.

The state government awarded the winner 6000 million rupees at once, plus various rewards from other institutions and companies, as well as subsequent advertising endorsements, the gold medal winner suddenly gained a fortune of over million rupees.

However, this is not what Indians envy the most. What makes them envy the most is that the gold medal winner was awarded a national civil service position without taking an exam.

State civil servants are more concerned than this money.

This is the status of Indian civil servants.

When people see luxury cars on the street, such as Rolls-Royce and Ferrari, they just take a look and marvel at them for a moment, and that's it.

But seeing the official cars specially equipped by the government for civil servants is enough to make people stop and cast envious glances. You must know that this official car is a domestically produced Indian car with low configuration and even no air conditioning, but this car is a symbol of status and power.

No wonder so many people in India are scrambling to get the civil service exam; the status is so high.

Roton thought about his contribution this time. It can be said that he saved some people and had a considerable influence. It is impossible to reward him with hundreds of millions of rupees. It seems reasonable to reward him with an IPS position without taking an exam.

"You will be exempt from the interview," Palaniappan said. "In other words, as long as you pass the written test, you'll be fine. After all, with your heroic performance, you're fully qualified for the interview's personality and character assessment."

Luoton couldn't help but sigh secretly. The result was far from what he had imagined, that he would get a civil service position without taking an exam.

In Luoton's opinion, the government is still very stingy when it comes to directly rewarding civil service positions without taking exams. It is too stingy.

However, this result still surprised him very much.

The interview part was the one he worried about the most during the civil service exam. Wasn't he fighting so hard during the terrorist attack just to increase his influence?
This is to prepare for future interviews, at least so that future interviewers can be fair and just when facing you.

Although the interview is to examine your personality, character, etc., when it comes to that step, the decision is in the hands of the interviewers. Their standards are varied, and they will just give you a reason and send you away, leaving you with no place to complain.

Now Palaniappan has directly exempted himself from the interview. This result is much better than his previous plan. It can be regarded as a one-step solution.

What about whether the interview is fair or not? Just skip it and there will be no problem with the interview.

"Roton, work hard. I hope to hear the news that you have passed the written test one day." Palaniappan stared at Roton and said with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Minister, I will definitely work hard and will not let you down." Rotun said loudly.

Luo Dun's words made everyone present secretly laugh. The national civil service examination is not that easy.

It is hard to say how many people will be eliminated by the difficulty of the written test. For a sheriff like Rawdon, who comes from a low-caste poor family, it is extremely difficult for him to pass the written test. Therefore, in their opinion, the reward of being exempted from the interview is of no significance to Rawdon.

Since you can't even pass the written test, how can you talk about being exempted from the interview?
Of course, on the surface, everyone applauded and praised and encouraged Rotun, as they had to give face to the Minister of the Interior.
