The DGP Aditya Arya had last month arranged a special show of the flick in which Ajay Devgn plays character of a police protagonist who takes on the anti-social elements.
On the 142nd birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Arya unveiled a portrait of the Father of Nation, made by artist Subodh Kerkar, in his cabin.
“I want that they (policemen) should be empathetic with the public who approach (them) with their grievances. It will be obligatory on the part of police to have community interaction,” Arya said, adding that policemen should adhere to the values of Mahatma Gandhi in their day-to-day life.
