Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Friday reaffirmed his government’s commitment to a “zero-tolerance” policy on crime, stating that maintaining strong law and order remains one of the top priorities of the state administration. He made the remarks while chairing a high-level review meeting at the Police Headquarters in Jaipur to assess the overall security situation across Rajasthan.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister directed police officials to ensure that investigations of First Information Reports (FIRs) are completed within fixed timelines, stressing that delays must be dealt with strict accountability. He said timely investigation and swift relief for victims are essential for ensuring public trust in the justice system and preventing crime at an early stage.
Sharma also instructed senior officers to strengthen administrative oversight by clearly defining responsibilities at every level of the police hierarchy. He ordered daily public hearings at the local level and regular district-wise reporting on crime trends and case disposal rates to improve transparency and efficiency in policing.

In addition, the Chief Minister emphasised the need for routine inspections by senior police officials, including Superintendents of Police and Inspectors General, along with regular field visits to districts. He also called for enhanced monitoring of cybercrime cases and directed officials to maintain continuous communication with victims while ensuring faster resolution of digital offences.
The Chief Minister further stressed the importance of capacity building within the police force, including specialised training on the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and modern cybercrime prevention techniques. He also instructed authorities to prepare a comprehensive action plan to curb narcotics trafficking, dismantle organised crime networks, and strengthen border-area vigilance.
According to data presented at the meeting, Rajasthan has recorded a notable decline in overall crime between 2023 and 2025, with reductions reported across several categories, including murder, robbery, kidnapping, burglary, and crimes against women. Officials also stated that investigation timelines in sensitive cases, including those under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, have significantly improved.
The Chief Minister reiterated that the government’s objective is to build public confidence by ensuring a strong deterrent against criminal activity and maintaining an investment-friendly environment. Senior officials, including the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police, and other administrative and police officers, attended the review meeting in person and via video conferencing.
