Ballia (UP), Jul 23 (PTI) Three police officials, including an outpost in-charge, have been suspended for failing to take action against a liquor smuggler, officials said on Thursday.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Omveer Singh told PTI that Korantadih police recently detained two liquor smugglers. The two were caught while they were travelling on a motorcycle with six sacks of English liquor.
Police sent only one smuggler to jail and released the other. They also did not seize the motorcycle, Singh said.
After learning about this, the SP ordered an investigation into the matter, leading to the suspension of Ganesh Pandey, in-charge of Korantadih police outpost under Narhi police station area, Head Constable Danpat Ram and Constable Praveen Kumar on Wednesday, the officials said.
