It will be our pleasure to shoot or hang sex offenders: BS Bassi
Speaking to NDTV, the top cop said, "It will be our pleasure to shoot or hang (the) accused in cases of crime against women if the Constitution of India permits us."
"There are some 150-200 males who see a woman only as if they are seeing them in a porn movie. That's why they see (even) a two-month-old baby or an 80-year-old woman as targets," Bassi said.
He also took a subtle jab at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and commented, "It is the good fortune of Delhi Police that it is not under the Delhi government."
The top cop and Kerjiwal have been at loggerheads ever since the latter took the office, this though is a widely known issue and the rift is expected to widen further.
Kejriwal had earlier proposed another type of police stations if the existing ones fail to register a rape complain, a claim which Bassi passed off as unconstitutional.
He said that the Delhi Police is under no pressure from anybody as the Home Minister and Prime Minister does not interfere in their work.
"The people of Delhi are 100% fortunate that the Delhi Police is not under pressure. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Home Minister take interest in Delhi. Only the Delhi Chief Minister does so."
Meanwhile, in another development for the Delhi Traffic Police, Bassi said that they will have choppers from next year to take control of the situations better.
