1. VOHRA COMMITTEE REPORT

2. The Vohra Committee Report, submitted by N. N. Vohra in October 1993, examined the criminalization of politics in India and the nexus among criminals, politicians, and bureaucrats. The report highlighted how criminal networks were virtually running a parallel government, with political leaders becoming leaders of gangs and enjoying the protection of government functionaries. The report revealed that criminal gangs had developed extensive networks with bureaucrats, politicians, media persons, and strategically located individuals in the non-state sector. It also noted the rapid spread of criminal gangs, armed senas, drug mafias, smuggling gangs, and economic lobbies.

3. Recommendations The Vohra Committee made several key recommendations to address the nexus between criminals, politicians, and bureaucrats in India. Here are the main points: Strengthening Law Enforcement: The committee emphasized the need to enhance the capabilities of law enforcement agencies to tackle organized crime and its links with political and bureaucratic entities. Establishing a Nodal Agency: It recommended the creation of a nodal agency to collect and analyze intelligence on the criminal-politician-bureaucrat nexus and coordinate efforts to dismantle these networks. Judicial Reforms: The report suggested reforms in the judicial system to ensure swift and effective prosecution of cases involving organized crime and political corruption. Political Accountability: It called for greater accountability and transparency in the political system, including stricter scrutiny of candidates’ backgrounds and assets. Public Awareness: The committee highlighted the importance of raising public awareness about the dangers of the criminalization of politics and encouraging civic participation in the democratic process
