Two cops suspended for 'harassing' woman

PILIPHIT: Two constables, Rajendra Kumar and Dhirendra Singh, were suspended for allegedly harassing a 30-year-old woman by barging into her house on September 7.
The woman, who belongs to Neuria town of Pilibhit district, had filed a complaint following which the SP Jai Prakash Yadav suspended the two cops on Wednesday.
A preliminary inquiry was conducted by Pilibhit Sadar's CO, Pramod Yadav, according to the SP.“Although the two cops have denied the charges and have explained that they had raided the woman's house to get information regarding the assembly of locals in her house who were said to be involved in gambling and betting, but they were still liable for the action. It was their prime duty to inform their SHO regarding the illegal activity first," the SP added.
The SP further said that a departmental inquiry has been ordered.
