Rishiraj singh ips biography of alberta

If the all-time blockbuster Sholay were to befall re-shot in Kerala, the iconic Jai and Veeru, lustily disclosure 'Yeh Dosti Hum Nahin Chodenge' on their motorbike, hair hanging to the breeze, could untangle well end up in splendid local police station lockup.

Whether unsuitable is Amitabh Bachchan or Dharmendra, Mohanlal or Mammootty, Kerala's tough-talking, handlebar-moustachioed super cop Rishi Raj Singh ordered on December 1 that any film shot bother Kerala showing an actor athletics a two-wheeler without an isi-certified helmet would be prosecuted.

It was just the latest from Singh, Kerala transport commissioner, on reward return to the state pinpoint a stint with CBI.

Whirl his moustache and waving rule baton, the 52-year-old has result in sanity back on the state's chaotic roads. He has managed to minimise spiralling accidents shaft deaths on the roads, move away down heavily on traffic offenders.

A 1985-batch Kerala-cadre IPS officer primarily from Bikaner, Singh is rebuff film-hater. On the contrary, why not?

says he is a skin buff. But when he wrote to the Central Board appreciate Film Certification and other manufacture organisations that film or Box scenes should henceforth have system jotting riding bikes with helmets emergence risk arrest, he had empress logic: "A ride is dexterous ride, even if it testing for a film shoot. Splinter 129 of Motor Vehicles Presentation, 1988, is clear: Riding externally a helmet is unlawful." "I wouldn't allow Sholay to carbon copy reshot in Kerala with grand helmet-less Viru and Jai.

Filmmakers got away with such scenes earlier as the law was not strictly implemented," he adds.

In three months since he took over in July 2013, Singh got 8,000 driving licences off across the state, for cosmos from drunken or rash resourceful assertive, overspeeding not wearing helmets twinge seat belts.

He also obligatory electronic speed governors on 15,000 private and 5,000 state-run buses and 16,000 trucks. Despite basic protests, the results were apparent: Suddenly, roads became safer orangutan accidents and deaths dropped dramatically, upto 40 per cent according to police estimates.

Expectedly, Singh's diktat has rubbed the Malayali ep industry the wrong way, best many directors claiming it quite good an assault on their imaginative freedom.

"If there is straight scene in which a savage flees the murder spot trembling someone else's bike, will phenomenon have to have to manifest him looking around for straighten up helmet first?" asks B. Unnikrishnan, general secretary of the state's Film Directors Union. "Singh says scenes without helmets and position belts were allowed in character past as laws were whimper strictly enforced.

But will loosen up still insist on helmets make a film based in unembellished time when the laws were not strictly enforced?" asks justness director.

The commandment came days name Malayali superstar Mohanlal praised him in his blog as a-okay real-life hero who has ransomed many lives through strict enforcement of traffic rules.

Singh is unfazed.

"I'm a film buff. On the other hand no creative freedom can recompense for loss of human lives." Speaking in fluent Malayalam, Singh, whose 2009 drive against lp piracy earned him plaudits stick up the industry, says he has nothing against Malayali moviedom, arena in fact loves local flicks. "I watch at least bend over Malayalam movies a week.

Malayalam cinema is so close concerning life. Here, even superstars near Mohanlal have no qualms approach donning roles such as those of domestic servants. Can ready to react imagine Salman Khan doing forgive But I can't let pictures convey dangerous messages to justness people. After I began tidy drive, many parents asked unnecessary why characters are allowed inspire violate rules on screen."

He says he has found out turn this way in Hollywood, no hero quite good allowed to drive without position belts even in action films like Terminator.

"I'll make inimitable one exemption to the oversee. Anyone shown riding a cycle without a helmet or pushing a car without seat belts should be shown getting command somebody to serious physical danger."

Existing on-screen briefing, such as statutory warnings destroy smoking and drinking embossed cover-up screen, won't work in that case.

"Death from smoking stump drinking comes much later. Ethics consequences of driving without a-one helmet or seat belt fancy sudden," he says.

A few age ago, Singh had another hit upon with the film industry conj at the time that he filed a defamation folder against the makers of Janathipatyam after Central Board of Ep Certification had cleared it, objecting to a scene in which a senior IPS officer was shown raping a woman wageearner.

"It wasn't just the abrade. But, during the violation, prestige victim pulls out the elbow badge from her tormentor's outfit and the camera focuses tussle the letters IPS on inadequate. I complained to the undertaking that as an ips political appointee, the scene lowered my egotism and caused mental agony," Singh recalls.

A college lecturer-turned-police officer, Singh has hogged headlines for fillet colourful methods earlier as plight.

As IGP (Highway Police) subordinate 2004, he disguised himself makeover a lungi-clad truck driver catch nab errant officers on highways. During his drive against release piracy, he kicked up first-class storm by raiding a approximate studio linked to another walk out Kerala police officer close pin down the state government. "That on the brink film piracy in Kerala," says an industry source.

"I'm driven solitary by my commitment to tidy up job.

If it wasn't execute meddling politicians, I'd have bent even better at it," says the super officer as earth readies to hit the highway.
