Misleading heading. UP badly needed an SISF. Have been following this for quite some time now

Investors while evaluating destinations in India also evaluate the Security scenario. If the state fails to provide Security then no investments would flow in. https://theprint.in/india/governance/up-set-to-get-special-force-that-can-arrest-a-suspect-without-warrant-if-sure-about-crime/501941/

1. It's a mere SISF unit, nothing more. Confined to industrial parks and factories
2. Police can still arrest you w/o a warrant, nothing has has changed
3. UP HC ordered the creation of this force
4. You can still challenge an arrest in the court

This is how media manipulates

In our first article on police reforms we had suggested the establishment of SISF units. According to my assessment, in the coming few years, every state in a bid to attract investment will raise SISF Coys, this would also ease out the job for CISF.

Section 41 of the Code of Criminal Procedures (CRPC) gives police the powers to arrest w/o a warrant.

Concluding this thread - Just notice how all the journalists are tweeting about this unit, Im more than sure that they haven't even read the article or cared to check the provisions of arrests in the CRPC.

Even Odisha SISF (OSIF) Act 2012 gives them power to arrest n search w/o a warrant. Did not see anyone making an issue with other State Industrial Security Force

I guess this thread will never end. Managed to download Haryana State Industrial Security Force Act (2003) which ALSO confers its personnel with powers to arrest w/o warrant.

I think it's done for now.
Never thought that State Industrial Security Force (SISF) would get so much attention. Pheewwww
