Outgoing DGP Criticizes Messi Event Security

Outgoing DGP Criticizes Messi Event Security

The outgoing police chief, Rajeev Kumar, had a meeting with his colleagues before he retired.

He talked about a big event with a famous football player, Lionel Messi, that happened in December.

He said the police should have controlled the crowd better because too many people got too close to Messi, and he had to leave early.

This made the fans who paid a lot of money feel sad.

Because of this, some police officers were punished.

Kumar also told the other police officers that they should be brave and make good decisions, even when it's hard.

He said that technology helps them but also makes their job harder because everything they do is watched.
