Lestrade in Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes,
Inspector Japp in Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot series.
Both belong to that great Mecca of whodunits, the Scotland Yard, which is a metonym for the metropolitan police of London, and synonym with the CID of London metropolitan police.
The department was so called as it was located at the Scotland Yard.
Scotland Yard brings in a gush of romance, adventure, intrigue and the works. Every policeperson or forensic person would want to associate with it.
It was created in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel, on this day in history.

Of course, ACP Pradyum with his”Kuth tho gadbad hai daya,” and he belongs to CID Mumbai which is superior to Scotland yard.

I like Poirot over Lestrade. Current fav of course is ACP Pradyumn.
