Keeping The Bullet Under Control: Sagar Preet Hooda, an IPS and Academician Who Works Best Under Pressure

Came last year from Arunachal and soon rose to the ranks and became Special Commissioner of Delhi Police later getting into a delicate position of handling Delhi's Law and Order. Certainly, Hooda has earned it. However, every officer in her or his career do strive best to rise within the ranks and try to earn the position for which she or he aspires but ever since the clouds of merit and competence over seniority have shadowed the bureaucracy, it has become tough to compete and live up to the aspirations. The reasons for it are also quite evident and comprehendible, IPS officers these days do not work on their skills and devise new unconventional strategies and this is what creates a gap between deserving and underserving officers. Only a few of them are there at the senior level. The case of Sagar Preet Hooda transpires the skill set which he has learned and polished from experience during his academia days(a calm and sagacious composure). The way everyone was unnecessarily banging the table over the situation. Hooda took the lead under the able guidance of the Delhi Police Commissioner and moved calmly and sagaciously without getting swayed by public and media glare or getting affected by the pressure that sometimes emanates from these glares. Hooda not only kept the ground silent and under control but also kept things simple during the whole inquiry process so as to swiftly complete an easy "in and out job" without inviting much attention or letting the people unnecessarily speculate. This sagacious attitude at times of pressure helps to get the job done with maximum output while keeping things smooth and simple. Usually, officers complicate their decision-making in these kinds of situations due to pressure or glares but Hooda's simplicity works best under pressure we have seen it many times be it cases involving glares or sensational murder cases" Power corridor discussed.
