RAIPUR, INDIA, November 29, 2002: Names like Rajesh Sindhi, Salim Mussalman, Sudhir Bengali and Babulal Satnami will no longer figure in the records of Chhattisgarh Police. There will be only proper names and surnames. The state police have decided to completely do away with recording the caste of both the complainant and the suspect/accused from complaint registers, FIRs and even the daily status reports. State Director General of Police Ashok Darbaari has issued orders in this connection requesting all police stations in the state to strictly refrain the long tradition of asking and recording caste and religion of the complainants and suspects. They will no longer be displayed prominently in all written material, including the releases issued to the media.
