Nagpur: Four police personnel, including an assistant police sub-inspector attached to Koradi police station, were suspended for alleged involvement in a sand theft case. The action taken by DCP Nilotpal has caused a stir among police personnel.
All the cops were deployed in the detective branch (DB). The suspended personnel are ASI Dinesh Singh Thakur, constables Ravi Lonarkar, Suresh Mishra and Vishnu Hede.
Two days ago, DCP Nilotpal came to know that stolen sand was being transported in a dumper in Koradi area. He directed the DB squad at Koradi police station to take action against the sand thieves and seize the dumper. However, the police staff helped the accused unload some sand from the dumper.
This information was received by DCP Nilotpal, who ordered a preliminary inquiry that revealed the alleged involvement in unloading some quantity of sand from the dumper. After taking a nod from CP Amitesh Kumar, the DCP suspended the four cops on Tuesday.
