520			_aAutobiography of a police officer from Uttar Pradesh, India. Based on his vast and varied experience spanning over 34 years in the IPS, V.P. Kapur vividly brings out the gradual crumbling of the edifice of police administration, rule of law and criminal justice system in the country. Unless integrated, holistic reforms are undertaken, the system is bound to collapse. Police should be taken out of the political stranglehold, treated as agents of law and made accountable to an independent agency.
