He directed to arrange more such Moot Court mock drills in future to improvise the professionalism, skills of prosecution, witnesses and investigating officers in particular so that cases like NDPS/UAPA could be brought to their logical conclusion in the interest of justice besides other cases.
The DGP said that a dedicated effort from everyone is necessary to improve the conviction rate of heinous crimes.
