In a complete disregard for democracy, Hyderabad is overcome with VIP culture as far as protection and security is concerned. While VIPs rate five policemen for one individual, the common people are lucky to have one policeman for a thousand residents of the city. As a retired police officer valiantly stated, it seems that the priority of the police is no longer aimed at maintaining law and order. And how can it be so when they are busy with VIP duties. But this lack of security has led to a great increment in incidents of crime. These crimes range from petty chain snatchings to murders and rapes as well.
Facts reveal that at present, the chief minister, governor and former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu as well the Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court are a few of the people who receive Z class securityfrom the state. Cabinet ministers like Chiranjeevi and MLAs get Y category (2+2) while MPs get security under the X category.
