Ghaziabad: Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Muniraj G on Tuesday (October 1) suspended two chief constables and a constable for allegedly providing mobile phones to a rape accused in a district court jail. Giving information in this regard, a police officer has said that a departmental inquiry has also been set up against the three.

Superintendent of Police (Rural) Iraj Raja said that the accused Vishu Tomar was taken to the court of Additional District Judge Fast Track in connection with the case on October 21 and he somehow got a mobile from the police to chat with his friend through video calling on Instagram. The video of the chat went viral on social media last week and an inquiry was conducted after which chief constables Firoz Mehndi and Rishi Kumar and constable Sarfaraz Ali Khan were suspended on Tuesday evening.

SP (Rural) Iraj Raja has said that it shows the dereliction of duty of policemen and has also tarnished the image of the police department. The accused policemen have been suspended and the order will be implemented with immediate effect. SP Rural said that a departmental inquiry has also been set up against them.
