In a virtual admission of the fact that Bihar police were under-trained, under-experienced, unmotivated, and possibly even worthless, the state government, in order to deal with growing crime and Naxal menace in Bihar, have agreed to send their policemen for further training with the Indian Army.
Police IG (Headquarters) Anil Sinha, following a high-level meeting with the IG (Training) C. Lima Imchen, and a senior army officer Colonel A. P. Pandey, said that since the tenure of the recently formed Special Auxiliary Police (SAP) was only one year, it was necessary for the state police to have their men trained by the very best - the Indian army.
