Former Delhi Police ACP Rajindar Pathania recalls experiences in Germany involving how police handle Indian tourists during security checks, along with observations about the cleanliness of public spaces. In his account, he describes the bag-check process and says the way officers carried out the checks left a lasting impression.

Pathania also links his recollections to broader impressions of public order in Germany, particularly the upkeep of shared spaces. Across the outlets’ reporting, both elements—police conduct during tourist security screening and the cleanliness around public areas—are presented as the key takeaways from his time there.

While the two articles focus on the same core events, they are framed slightly differently in wording: one emphasizes that German police “did something” that Pathania finds memorable, while the other highlights a “surprise” connected to the same security-check experience. Neither source provides additional details such as specific locations, dates, or the exact actions taken during the checks beyond the general character of the encounter.
