Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 61: Action Team Captain

The position of Mumbai Police Commissioner is currently vacant, and many people are eyeing it and want to compete for it.

The competition here is so fierce and there are so many bigwigs involved that Roton feels his scalp tingling just thinking about it.

In this fierce battle between dragons and tigers, apart from Rotun, it is impossible to predict who will win in the end.

Shiva Nandan is not the only deputy director of the Maharashtra Police Department, so the position of Mumbai Police Chief is basically a competition among these deputy directors. Of course, it is also possible that he will be parachuted in from outside.

The rank of the Director General of Police in Maharashtra is Director General of Police, the rank of the Deputy Director General is Additional Director General of Police, while the rank of the Director General of Mumbai Police is Special Director General of Police.

The police rank insignias of the three are the same, for example, the epaulettes are two crossed sabers and a baton, with the Indian national emblem above.

Commissioner of Police is the highest rank in the police force, equivalent to the rank of Lieutenant General in the army. The Director General of Police in each state is definitely Commissioner of Police, but those with the rank of Commissioner of Police are not necessarily Director General.

After all, it is possible that a state may have multiple police chiefs in office at the same time. If this is the case, there will only be one director general, and the others can only hold lower-level positions.

However, it is rare for multiple people to be police chiefs at the same time. In order to avoid conflicts of rank, there is usually only one police chief in a state police department, and the others can only be replaced after he retires.

The three director-level police ranks mentioned above are, from highest to lowest, Director General of Police, Special Director General of Police and Additional Director General of Police.

The latter two can be regarded as the rank of major general and lieutenant general, which is naturally lower than the chief inspector of police.

The Special Director of Police generally serves as the police chief of important cities such as Mumbai and Kolkata. Even if he serves as the Deputy Director General, his status in terms of police rank is second only to that of the State Director General.

The Additional Director General of Police usually serves as the Deputy Director General or the head of some important department in the Directorate General.

In the competition for the position of Commissioner of Mumbai Police, Shiva Nandan finally won, which had something to do with his experience.

He has served as the Chief Police Officer of Nagpur Division. Nagpur, the capital of Nagpur, is the third largest city in Maharashtra, after Mumbai and Pune. He has extensive experience in local law enforcement.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has participated in and handled many major terrorist attacks, such as the 1993 Mumbai serial bombings, which killed 257 people and injured 713 people. In terms of casualties, it was even more serious than the Mumbai terrorist attack.

There was also the hijacking of an Indian passenger plane in 1999, and so on.

So he has rich experience in combating organized crime and dealing with terrorist attacks.

However, this was just the disclosure report that Rotun saw in the news that year. Shiva certainly could not have risen to power relying on these alone. It is unknown how many relationships he used and how many secret compromises and transactions were involved.

After all, the Commissioner of Mumbai Police holds a high position and great power. The most important thing is that after becoming the Commissioner of Mumbai Police, the next step will basically be the Commissioner General of the Mumbai Police Department, the top leader of a state police system.

Rotun was naturally surprised. He thought that he had made the right choice to rely on Pirando. He did not expect that the person behind him would be the future chief of the Mumbai Police Department. He had a bright future.

In this case, there won't be any problem if I don't have to transfer out of Mumbai, right?
However, he changed his mind and realized that he and Shiva had never met, and their relationship was only established indirectly through Pirando. Especially since the difference in status between him and Shiva was too great, how could Shiva really take him seriously?

Therefore, only by following Pirando can one get greater care and feel more at ease within the police system.

If Shiva really becomes the Chief of the Mumbai Police Department or even the Chief of the Maharashtra Police Department in the future, Pirandu will naturally benefit, and it also means that he will also get huge benefits.

"Director, you are exaggerating. What contribution can I make in such a high-level competition?" said Roton.

"That's not true," Pirando sighed. "Now is a crucial moment in the competition. Any slightest disturbance could affect the outcome and upset the balance. The last time the old leader spoke of you, he was genuinely happy. It shows that because of you, the old leader has truly benefited greatly from this competition."

"It is a real honor for me. I believe the Commissioner of Mumbai Police will definitely be Mr. Shiva Nandan," said Rawdon.

Pirando laughed and said, "All I can say is that the chances are better now. No one can be sure until the very end. It's a pity that I can't help much with these matters. I can only rely on the old leader himself."

Roton thought about it and realized that this was a game of chess at the highest level of the Mabang police system. Even Pirandu was not qualified, so logically speaking, he should be out of the question. However, his performance in this terrorist attack unexpectedly benefited Shiva Nandan, making him come into the sight of this big boss.

Although Rodon knew that Shiva would have succeeded in the end even without his involvement, Pirando and the others did not know.

If Shiva really becomes the chief of the Mumbai Police Department in the future, he might look at me differently. In their eyes, I have only made a small contribution here.

Thinking of this, Luoton felt even better.

A week later, Pirandu left Mumbai and went to Pune to take up the post of District Police Commissioner.

And Rawdon's specific position was also announced: the captain of the Spanda Police Department's operations team, which was North's previous position. He was responsible for some major cases in the jurisdiction, such as homicide, large-scale theft and robbery, etc.

The higher-ups believed that Rotun had sufficient military power and was the most suitable person for the position.

The captain of the action team is the third most important person in the police station besides the chief and deputy chief. After all, he controls the main police force of the police station.

Roton thought that the higher-ups still gave him face for the title of Mumbai Hero. The inspector didn't give it to him, the deputy director didn't give it to him, and if the third-in-command didn't give it to him either, that would be really unreasonable.

The bastard above was barely being a human being.

In fact, for Rawdon, the position didn't matter, because according to Pirando, he could be transferred to Pune in one or two months at most.

The candidate for deputy chief of Spanda Police Station has not yet been decided. I heard that the higher-ups are undecided about the candidate for the time being.

What does it mean to be indecisive? Roton knew it very well. It was actually because the competition was fierce and countless people were playing the game.

This is similar to the competition for the position of Commissioner of Police in Mumbai, and everyone is trying their best.

Of course, there is a huge difference between the two levels and they cannot be compared.

There are only a few positions for grassroots directors and deputy directors, which is too few compared to the number of inspectors.

Now that there is a vacant position for deputy director, these idle inspectors are trying their best to find connections and backers. In addition, the new district director has just taken office and is obviously still in a wait-and-see state regarding these matters. He has not made a direct decision, so the situation is deadlocked for a while.

Although grassroots police in Mumbai face complicated cases and other issues, they also have a lot of benefits. The deputy director cannot compare with the director, but he is still the second in command and has great power.

It is definitely very convenient to make money. For example, Gert made an unknown amount of money as the deputy director.

Rotten also asked Pirando about the new chief of the North Central District Police Station in Mumbai. After all, he would have to stay here for a while. Of course, he also took the opportunity to help North find out about the new chief's temper.

Pirando told Roton that the new district chief was quite pragmatic and had been ruthless in cracking down on crimes within his jurisdiction, so the security in the area under his jurisdiction was much better than that in other surrounding districts.

In this case, Rotten has nothing to worry about. He is fine and won't stay here long, but if someone like North, who has no background, does not suit his boss's taste, then it will be troublesome.

Being a pragmatic district director would definitely be beneficial to North, and North would definitely have no problem in this regard.

I will go to Pune in the future. My parents and family are still here. With Director North taking care of them, there will definitely be no problems.

At the same time, Pirando also told Roden that the man behind the new district chief was a big shot whom his old leader Shiva Nandan was trying to win over, because this big shot had a certain say in the appointment of the chief of the Mumbai Police Department.

Now, people like Shiva Nandan who have the opportunity to compete for the position of Mumbai Police Commissioner want to bring these people with the power to join their camp.

Unfortunately, the other party has not yet made a clear statement and is in a neutral state, which makes him an object that everyone needs to win over.
