In year 2014, 19 murder cases were reported in the Zone-I and under the leadership of DCP Abhinash Kumar five murder cases remain undetected. According to information, only 20 out of 77 reported chain snatching cases solved by the police. The statistic shows that DCP Abhinash Kumar was not interested in detection and conviction of crime despite of regular orders by the then Joint CP.
