Summary:
New Delhi: Former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar said on Sunday that he would have sought relevant intelligence and intervened "at any appropriate time" to prevent the situation at Jawaharlal Nehru University last Sunday from getting worse if he had been in command of the force. "I would have pressed my special branch into service and asked it to develop intelligence and at any appropriate time, I would have intervened and prevented the incident from happening and no one could have faulted me for that," he said. However, he confessed that in law order situations like this, only on-ground officers know what happened. This is a very peculiar situation –that the police intervened in a proactive way in Jamia and they were damned in JNU because they said they were not called in. Kumar was Delhi Police Commissioner in 2012 when the Nirbhaya case had come to light and protests had erupted all over the Capital..
