The local police anywhere will support locals always above any because outsiders will get transfer and he will have to do business with locals in the end ..
You cannot archive it, Unless their is a fear of discipline in local police and In majority of India, police and discipline is a impossible combination to start with ..
I hope how basics are changing in new government, Things will improve in next 5-10 years ..
Not disagreeing, just adding a few more points.
I cannot say for other states but in andhra and Telangana almost every police officer who takes on criminals have a death threat against them. It doesn't matter where they are posted, threat follows them everywhere within the state.This is why state police leadership transfers them out when threat perception goes high. This is routine for those in crime branch.
Every state is Large enough on its own, its not that police officers are posted in naxal areas for ever. They can always be transferred. Historically postings in LWE area were seen as punishment postings.
I am confident this LWE issue will be history in another 5-10 years.
