The sanctioned and actual strength of police personnel at all-India level per one lakh population is 181.47 and 136.42 respectively, the Lok Sabha was told today.
Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said the data was compiled by the Bureau of Police Research and Development as on January 1, 2013.
Rijiju said no information as to the police and population ratio of other countries is being compiled by BPR&D.
