James Alexander Scott CIE, OBE (1895-20 January 1983), was a Scottish member of the Indian Police Force from 1915 to 1947. On 30 October 1928, when the Simon Commission arrived, Scott was the superindent of police in Lahore, India, where he ordered the dispersal of a peaceful protest by the charging with batons. One result was the death of Indian revolutionary Lala Lajpat Rai.[1]
He was married to Elizabeth Smith Scott, whose death preceded his.[2]
