Thats 2008 mumbai police fool.
Here's something to bring you to reality:
LAHORE: The police of most countries are equipped with the latest weapons and technologies to combat an improving and constantly adapting crime syndicate.
The same does not go for the Lahore Police. Many of its personnel are still equipped with the 121-year-old British .303 Lee-Enfield rifle. The British Army used these rifles for more than 60 years, first being introduced in 1895. The rifle features a five- or 10-round box magazine, which is loaded manually from the top, either one round at a time or by means of five-round chargers. This means that once empty, it takes long to reload the rifle.
Armed with this rifle, the police have to face criminals armed with the latest weapons including the deadly AK-47 assault rifle (Kalashnikov), accurate shotguns, automatic rifles with small bores and foreign pistols.
Daily Times has learnt that police personnel who do have in possession new weapons have to buy bullets from their own pockets, as getting ammunition from the department is a lengthy tedious process that nobody wants to go through.
Sources within the Lahore Police said that out of more than 10,000 personnel in the city, about 3,000 cops were equipped with the .303. Interestingly, most of these personnel have been deployed on security detail outside schools, banks and even police stations. These cops are sitting ducks if they come under persistent automatic fire, they added.
Sources said that most police personnel deployed in the city were neglected. They said that while some cops were equipped with the Italian Berretta pistol and the latest semi-automatic rifles, others slung .303 rifles over their shoulders or held thin sticks.
The sources said that a large number of cops equipped with .303 rifles were close to retirement. They said that this was the main reason why criminals itched for a fight with the police. The criminals know that we arent well armed and that they can out-gun us. There have been many encounters where the cops and robbers came across each other and the robbers came out victors, the sources added.
An old constable deployed at a bank said, I need at least a minute to ready my .303 rifle for firing. Once fired, it takes me time to reload it. By that time any robber with a pistol can kill or take me hostage. Also, this rifle weighs about three kilos. Lugging it around for 16 hours a day isnt easy.
A Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) personnel told Daily Times that he was armed with an AK-47. However, he said that the ammunition was expensive. I want extra ammo before an operation and have to buy it with my own money. Getting it issued from the department takes a lot of time and that is what we dont have.
SSP (Operations) Chaudhry Shafiq said he had recently been made the SSP and would see to the situation.
