AFTER 60 YEARS OFINDEPENDENCE
Honorable Union Minister Mr. P.Chidamabaram as back as in 1988,while inaugurating the second annual vigilance officer’s conference at Chennai said—‘the virus of corruption appeared to envelop the whole fabric of society and when some people tended to be corrupt, even the honest people became suspect’.( The Indian Express- Daily News Paper- Hyderabad Edition, dated 22ndMarch,1988).
The age old proverb continues to be up spring—“while honesty knock and waits at the door, the bribery enters in...”
Sri. S.K. Ghosh, IPS, in his book’ The Light of Other Days’, said”... I can say quite candidly, while majority of police officers want to be efficient and honest, and if there is an honest politician in charge, there will be an honest Police Force. It is just that simple...”
Sri. D. N. Gautam, IPS, in his book ‘What is wrong with Indian Police’, expressed the gospel truth in other words,”…The Indian Police have a typical characteristic of being strong towards the weak and weak towards the strong…’.
The white collar criminality is found to be correlated and linked with the economic activity and advancement of science and technology, clubbed with the power and politics. It emerges on its own, carves and crop up through mismanagement, ignorance, over confidence, dependency, over reliability, uncalled for rewards, medals,praise, underlying assumptions, and so on.
Mr. D.N. Gautam quoted”...a situation of legal disorder was sought and created in the police supreme and actual conducting of.. (Its duties are side lined). In the words of Mr. S.K. Ghosh,’... policing of the area is rarely thought of during the planning stage, and when Law and Order problems arise, some police posts are created hurriedly and policemen are posted overnight without providing them with adequate accommodation and facilities which are made available to workers…’

The characteristic trend of the white collar crime can be best equated with that of F. Engel’s words-‘it is self evident that where things and there inter relations are conceived, not as fixed, but as changing, their mental images, the ideas are like wise subject to change and transformation, as they are not encapsulated in rigid definitions, but are developed in their historical or logical process of formation…….’.
It is a talk of the day in general that when news surface on some white collar criminality, every one denounce it and make hue and cry for strict action against the defaulters and so on. From the next day on wards they forget about the issues, and put their sight on some other matter of importance.
Its unabated trend as is emerging in all spheres of life under the guise of lacunae in the projection of evidence or through investigation loop holes. It is being protected and safeguarded by the vested interests during its official transactions for material or wrongful gains by way of inter dependence, and easy way of penetration into such agencies.
These crimes are not generally located or identified by general public and even by others who have no access to the official dealings. Being a demi official and secret in transactions, it is spear heading by over coming the police net work and other Law Enforcement agencies by sociopaths.
It takes its shape through learned behaviour, having a change and chance to leap when social status and position permits. It survives under active support of clientele it serves, with empiricism having authority and power. It is such a clandestine activity which do not easily attract the attention of the machinery or of the honest superiors unless and until its operation is leaked out through some source.
It may not be out of place to mention the words appeared in ‘The Economic and Political Weekly- Annual Number-1967’ .Its inner meaning to be applied openly with broad mindedness to fit to the present contest of white collar criminality. The paper quoted that’ …the question really is whether the present disorders and discontents are the prelude to a deepening political crises or only a passing phase. Any one who remembers the post independence history of India; one cannot honestly say that Indian politics are moving smoothly and tidily even when the Nehru era was at its peak….and any party that has been in power as long as the congress party has been in bound to become feeble, corrupt and demoralized…’.
The white collar crime generates through super derogated official actions concerning to an issue or project, and emanate at a particular time. At least one official is always involved in enumerating for its emergence through ante room. It is not that easy to read the minds of these officials, unless you join them, (at least as a decoy, and or act as a secret agent or dope), It is very difficult to find out the plan of initiation and action before it is worked out. It is a recognized arrangement and or an agreement between the vested interests; of course one should have high social standards, respect, domain, status and what not.
Once the operation begin, they shall not have time to re generate to think of its side effects as the material or wrongful gain pour in and they are caught in a vicious circle.
Is there any remedy or resolution to solve the problem of white collar criminality? Certainly, one can say yes. There should be a favourable and positive answer.
Of course, the crime and disorders in the society attract the Law and the Law enforcement agencies. But what about the white collar crime, which is independent of itself.
The authority in power has to analyse as to how and why it is living and surviving from within itself, and why it is even withstanding the pressures of the society; why the Law enforcement agencies are unable to tackle it effectively and efficiently; why it is grooming forward with out any sudden death or ineffectiveness. For all these questions and problems, sincere and honest answers are its solution.
Bring the honest top officials to the fore front. Change the pattern of selection of the top brass and other designated jobs.
It is my opinion to select sincere, good, and efficient personalities from all fields including the public and private industries; make coordinated committees; the chartered accountants, the doctors, the engineers, the bank officials are the officials who can also lay hand and curb this menace at the beginning. There shall be a separate department by itself.
The Intelligence departments and other co related Vigilance branches of the Central Government and of the States, the Economic Offences Wing, the Customs and Central Excise Intelligence wings the Narcotic and Drugs control wings are some of the citations which are dealing with the specific nature of offences.

In this context, one shall not forget the speech of the former Honorable President of India's words and vision spelt very clearly while presenting President's Colours to the RPF in the year 2006 .
( Former) Honourable President of India Dr. A. P.J. Abdul Kalam has presented the Presidential Colours to the Railway Protection Force on 22nd May, 2006 with certain observations and suggestions to the RPF / the Government of India, the Ministry of Railways, the Railway Board, New Delhi, to make rail journey safer and secure to the 12 million people including the tourists who are making use of the rail services every day.
The Hon’ble President reiterated:
(1) the need to remove the division of responsibility between the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF);
(2) for empowering the RPF with legal powers to tackle all cognizable offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Special Acts so that there is a single point of responsibility for tackling crimes against railway passengers.
Even three decades earlier and thereafter also there were lot of dialogue and paper work on the matter. But, nothing materialized.
There shall be a day to celeberate over the Railway's System when there can be only one Police Force and not TWO as we see today- the RPF and the GRP- both work independently and separately under two different heads and one work as per State Governments orders and the other as per Ministry of Railways orders.
These are supplemental to bring down the economic offences where on Railways or in any part of the other Ministrys and sister departments.. But, it is opined that they can not eradicate the so called white collar crimes which take its bud from within and emerges surreptitiously unless curbed at the beginning itself.
It is opined that by a special Act or other wise, there shall be a separate department at the Centre under the exclusive control and supervision of its Chairman and the Chief Director General and he shall be answerable to the Parliament and to submit annual report.
Like in the IPS officers’ cadre transfers, seniority and promotions, the personnel from one Force shall be subjected to transfer to the other Force, so that there can be no ambiguity in their seniority and promotions, being centralized services in
As seen from the present set up there are many a number of Armed Forces- some working under the exclusively control and command of different Ministries of the Central Government, like the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Defence, having there own set up of selection process and procedure, transfers, seniority, and promotional channel.
Unlike that of The Railway Protection Force, it is believed that in India there is no other Force having only two types of group cadre posts-Group ’C’ and Group ’A’. There is no system of other channel of promotion, a Group ’C’ cadre post personnel, like the Inspector, shall be promoted directly to the Group ‘A’ cadre post as Asst. Commandant/Asst.Security Commissioner and the next promotion for him within three years of time is Commandant. While in some other Forces, in between the posts of Asst.Commandant, there lies another post like Dy. Commandant and to get the promotion to the rank of Commandant many have to wait and see for some vacancies and the like. But in the RPF, on one or the other way they shall be promoted to the rank of Commandant just by completion of three years of service and not even five years as is envisaged in their Rules, they say. Probably, they might have taken up the Force Personnel-having completed three years of service at par and equal to that of the other Raliway Cadre officers for whom there might be some other set of codified Rules and Procedure excluding the RPF, being an Uniformed Armed Force of the
Like all other Central Government Forces, the RPF shall also be brought under the control and command of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
There still lies a feeling in most of the personnel that having given the Railway privileges and the sort being in the Railways and working under the command and control of the Ministry of Railways, and if they are taken over by the Ministry of Home Affairs, they shall have to loose all the privileges and other type of facilities being offered by the Railways, and hence they are found to be not inclined to make out any proposal for getting the Police Powers and responsibilities like other Police Forces and there by replace the GRP from the Railways once for all.
It is opined that this type of fear complex, in my opinion, is and has brought down the image of the Force to many ways and is being continued as it was without any Police Powers. It is believed that who ever may be and as a matter of fact, any official working on deputation over the Railway System shall be entitled with all the facilities and privileges as enjoined by the Railway men.
All the central police forces and other armed forces like the RPF shall be brought under the command and control of the Chairman and Chief Director General of the Central Police Organization under the Ministry of Home Affairs. There shall be only one type of selection process, procedure. The Rules and Regulations, and the departmental proceedings shall be same for all the Forces personnel whether working in the States or under the Central Government services or at nominated public undertakings.
There shall be a separate Central Intelligence Wing exclusively to deal with white collar crimes under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Like the Central Bureau of Investigation, or the Intelligence Bureau, it shall pass on the forecast and the intelligence to the Director General for its evaluation and further process to eliminate black sheep’s from the concerned departments.
The incumbents shall be drawn by an honest selection process. Qualitative selection shall be the need of the hour to curb the white collar crimes.
The Central and the State Service Selection Boards or the Committees shall be under one command with one and similar type of centralized selection process, in so far as the selection of police or other subsidiary forces selections takes place—whether for the CPOs, or the CISF, or RPF.. All shall be treated alike…; there shall no differentiation between the ranks, cadres or groups, promotional prospects,ad hoc continuity,AR Rules,etc… from one Force to the other one; whether it may be working for the State or for the Central Government.
