An inspector allegedly threatened an Additional Superintendent of Police after which the official Anil Kumar, shot off a letter to the Director General of Police (DGP) and Additional Director General (ADG) Varanasi zone, besides Chief Minister and SC/ST commissions.
Inspector General of Police, Varanasi range, S.K. Bhagat, who is probing the matter on the directives of ADG Varanasi zone Brij Bhushan, said, “I am looking into the matter. According to the available information, after the ASP (operations) Chandauli detected irregularities in the records of police lines, a heated argument took place between him and the inspector. The showdown took place in a closed room where only the ASP and inspector were present. Now, both are levelling serious allegations against each other. Their separate statements are being recorded.”
The ASP’s action of posting his complaint letter, marked to the DGP, ADG Varanasi zone, IG Varanasi range, chief minister, principal secretary home, SC/ST commissions at the Centre and state on social media, is also being viewed as an act of indiscipline by senior officials.
In his letter, the ASP stated that on July 20 he had inspected the police lines and sought the appointment register to see the details. The junior staff informed him that all such appointments were being done by the inspector and no record was being maintained, the ASP alleged in his viral letter.
On Tuesday, the ASP summoned the inspector with a register when the showdown took place between them, officials confirmed.
Later, the ASP in his letter alleged that the inspector not only made casteist remarks against him but also threatened him.
