Pilibhit CO transferred for forcing pradhan rub nose on criminal’s feet

PILIBHIT: A circle officer of

Pilibhit

police posted in

Bisalpur

, who had forced a village pradhan to rub his nose on the feet of an alleged criminal to apologise during his visit to Marauri Khas under Bilsanda police station on March 10, has been transferred by the state’s director general of police. A letter to this effect was received by Pilibhit’s SP on Thursday.

However, a local BJP MLA from Bisalpur, who had taken up the matter with higher authorities, wants him to be suspended followed by a probe.

SP Jai Prakash Yadav told the media persons that

Vineet Singh

has received the

transfer order

on Thursday and he has been shifted from civil police to CBCID (crime branch-crime investigation department).

Singh was earlier attached to the district police headquarters on March 13 following the orders of the ADGP of

Bareilly

zone, Avinash Chandra.

Unhappy with the mere transfer order, the BJP MLA Ramsaran Verma said the transfer of Singh is not enough.

“I will meet the CM to press my demand for the suspension of Vineet Singh and a high level probe in the matter," Verma added.
