<p>&nbsp;A surprise search operation planned by the police's anti-narcotics squad at the house of a suspected drug dealer in southern India turned out into a nightmare after they were confronted by several violent dogs.</p>

<p>It has now emerged that the suspect in Kottayam, Kerala had trained the dogs to bite anyone who was wearing a police uniform.</p>

<p>The search operation on Sunday night (September 23) was hindered by the presence of the dogs which also helped the accused in escaping the police, while the officials focused on avoiding the attacks of the canines.</p>

<p>However, the officials were able to subdue the dogs and seize over 17 kilogrammes of ganja from the site, said the police.</p>

<p>"The accused had imparted training to the dogs to bite on seeing khaki [the common police uniform colour in India]," a senior police official said.</p>

<p>"He had been briefly trained in dog handling by a person retired from the BSF [Border Security Force], but was kicked out from there for asking questions like how to make dogs bite someone wearing khaki,"&nbsp;SP K Karthick IPS told reporters.</p>

<p>He said it was almost midnight when the anti-narcotics squad, &nbsp;along with the officers from the nearby Gandhinagar police station, reached the location,&nbsp;Kottayam.</p>

<p>"We did not expect there would be so many dogs here and that they would be violent. So, we faced difficulty initially in carrying out a proper search. Fortunately, none of the officers were injured," said the police official.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The district police's top officer further said that the accused, who was living under the guise of a dog trainer, was a drug seller and the same was proved after they seized more than 17 kgs of ganja from the site.</p>

<p>"According to our preliminary investigation, he (the accused) was living here on rent and was known to everyone in the area as a dog trainer. Therefore, people used to leave their dogs with him, at the rate of ₹ 1,000 per day, when they went outside and he would look after the canines," Karthick said.</p>

<p>At present, around 13 dogs are present at the site and after their owners have been identified, the police will hand over the canines to them.</p>

India: Drug dealer trained dogs to bite people in police uniform during raids

<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday mooted the idea of "One Nation, One Uniform" for police personnel across states, saying it is just a suggestion and he is not trying to impose it on the states. Addressing a "Chintan Shivir" of state home ministers, Modi also advocated close cooperation among the states to tackle crime&nbsp;and criminals.</p>

<p>He said cooperative federalism was not only the feeling of the Constitution but also the responsibility of the states and the Centre.</p>

<p>"The One Nation, One Uniform for police is just an idea. I am not trying to impose it on you. Just give it a thought. It may happen, it may happen in 5, 50, or 100 years. Just think over it," Modi said.</p>

<p>The prime minister said he thinks that the identity of the police across the country should be identical.</p>

<p>He also urged the state governments to review old laws and amend them to the current context as he batted for coordinated action by all the agencies to meet the emerging challenges of law and order and security.</p>

<p>Modi said it was "very important" to maintain a good perception of police and the "wrongs here" should be addressed.</p>

<p>He said police and intelligence agencies should cooperate with each other to ensure efficiency, better outcome and protection to the common man.</p>

<p>The prime minister said the good old system of generating human intelligence by the police and security agencies should be strengthened for achieving better results.</p>

PM Modi moots idea of 'One Nation, One Uniform' for police personnel across states

<p>With the aim of making sure that nobody has to compromise on their personal religion and values, the New Zealand Police has decided to include Hijab in their uniforms.</p>

<p>Women from the Muslim community who want to wear a Hijab with their police uniform will now be allowed to do so as the New Zealand police has officially introduced the Hijab in their uniform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Constable Zeena Ali became the first woman in the unit to sport a Hijan with her police uniform. Ali feels this will help in encouraging more Muslim women to join the forces as now they will not have to compromise on their religious and personal values and believes. "Having a police-branded hijab means women, who may not have previously considered policing can do so now. It’s great how the Police incorporated my religion and culture," she said.</p>

<p>"I am thrilled the Police went out of their way to make sure the hijab I have on meets health and safety requirements as well as my own personal needs," she continued.</p>

<p>Talking about her days in the police training, she recalled how she always had the support of her colleagues to support her believes and said it makes her proud to show the police-uniform hijab as she can proudly claim she was a part of this whole process.</p>

<p>Thanking her colleagues and all officials in the unit, she recalled the support she received in her training days.
