Taking a tough stance against a Rs. 8.5 lakh robbery from a businessman’s cashier outside the Inspector General of Police’s office here on Thursday, the local police chief suspended three officers and ordered an investigation, sources said.
According to Circle Officer Shweta Yadav, the police have caught two criminals and recovered the looted money.
According to them, the suspended cops include the in-charge of the police outpost. They further stated that a preliminary investigation has been ordered against SHO kotwali Dinesh Kumar and other cops stationed at the police station.
They said that no direct action has been taken against the SHO since he took command only a week ago.
Rs 8.5 lakh was looted from businessman Kapil Agarwal’s cashier Sharad Saxena near the IGP office in the city’s kotwali area, police said.
Senior police officials, including the ADG PC Meena took strong exception to the incident as instructions to check loot and robbery in view of the ongoing festival season had been issued.
SSP Ghule Sushil Chandrabhan suspended in-charge of Chowki Chauraha police outpost Sub-Inspector Harkishore Maurya and two constables — Vijendra Singh and Yogesh Kumar. He also ordered a departmental inquiry, police said.
