Jammu | Oct 4
Following a complaint that a senior police officer received lakhs of rupees for transfer of some police officers, the Director General of Police ordered conduct of a secret enquiry to ascertain the veracity of the complaint.
According to some reliable sources the DGP office received a complaint through fax and also through courier leveling serious charges of corruption against one of the police officer who has been instrumental in prize postings of some of the police officers including DSPs, inspectors and SIs after getting hefty amount.
The sources further said that the complainant has also mentioned names of some of the police officers who managed prize postings on money consideration. The letter also mentioned that the said police officer arranged prize postings of some of the police officers to which they were not neither eligible nor fit.
The complainant in his letter maintained that this was not first case of its kind but was going on for last few years.
Taking note of the gravity of the situation and serious charges of corruption leveled against one of the police officer, the sources said, the Director General of Police immediately ordered a secret inquiry to unravel the truth.
Sources said that after taking over the charge as DGP, Kuldeep Khuda received first such complaint in which the complainant alleged open corruption by a senior police officer in transfer of police officers ordered recently.
Sources revealed that the complainant is not a stranger but a senior police officer who allegedly has been given insignificant posting for last several years. The said police officer, sources said, claimed to have contested to prove his allegation.
If the allegation is proved, it would be a litmus test for the DGP as how he acts to stem the wrought that has already eaten the very vitals of the society. It may be recalled that the DGP is on record as having said on number of occasions that there is no room for corruption and those found guilty would have to face action. |
