Senior GMP Officer to fly out to India to meet the family of Anuj Bidve
A senior GMP officer is flying to India with a family liaison officer (FLO)to meet the family of murdered student Anuj Bidve.

Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson and a specially trained FLO are due to fly out to India today, Sunday 1 January 2012.On their arrival in India they will meet Anuj's family and representatives from Indian authorities.

Assistant Chief Constable Dawn Copley, who has overall command for the operation, said: "Our family liaison officers are in regular contact with Anuj’s family but passing information and updates over the phone is not the best way to communicate in such difficult and tragic circumstances.

“It is important to me personally, and Greater Manchester Police, to have someone from the force meet with Anuj’s family at the earliest opportunity and help support them at this time. Having conversations face-to-face is absolutely the right thing to do. We will of course also provide whatever support we can throughout the family's forthcoming trip to the UK. ”

I agree, I'm sure the Bidve's would prefer action and results rather than this expensive and obvious 'tea and sympathy' exercise.

Totally agree they should use the resources where there needed,which is questioning the scum that did the crime......

Sorry to sound sceptical but this is beginning to sound just a little bit PC
