It is regretful because it is not fair to the system. This is the feedback that I have been getting from the rank and file, through phone calls, messages and e-mails.

Kiran Bedi is currently holding the post of Director-General of the Bureau for Police Research and Development. She said that the younger generation police officer disillusioned after the decision.

She said:

Dadwal has some time with him. I am left with two years before retirement. I could have finished my tenure and he could have taken over then. I did not lobby for the post and this might have gone against me.

Later, she said that she is looking into all possible options and discussing the matter with my family and friends.
