The Mumbai police commissioner Sanjay Pandey directed the police personnel not to accept any gifts or mementoes from private persons without taking due permission from their superiors.
Citing a guideline in the Maharashtra Police manual which mandates the state government's prior approval while accepting gifts or mementoes from private persons even for a good job, the police chief has made the permission of superiors mandatory while accepting gifts. The chief has issued a circular in this regard on Tuesday.
