The police in Bihar have issued an order saying those participating in violent protests and demonstrations will find it difficult to get government jobs or passports or government grants. Participation in protests would affect police verification for nine services. They include passport, character certificate, contractual jobs in government, work contracts in government departments, boards and commissions, license for petrol pump and gas agency, passports, government grant, bank loans.
According to the directive the “criminal act” of participating in a “law and order situation” would result in mention of it in their character certificate.
The directive said, “If a person is involved in any criminal act by engaging in any law and order situation, protests, road jams etc.

and is charged by the police for this, then specific mention of this will be made in the character verification report by the police. Such people have to be prepared for serious consequences because they will not be able to get a government job or apply for a state-owned liquor store.”
The Bihar order comes close on the heels of Uttarakhand saying that even people’s social media posts can have an impact on police verification for passports.
Uttarakhand DGP Ashok Kumar had said that the police will maintain a record of social media posts that they think are “anti-national” or “anti-social”.
Earlier the police would counsel people for their posts.
“From now onwards, the police would scrutinize the accused person’s social media behavior to check if he is habitual of putting such anti-national posts. If it is found, then the police would not clear his police verification, needed while applying for passport or arms license”, added Kumar.
The decision was taken after the police said that there was an increase in the number of people posting ‘anti national’ posts on social media.
