Mob attack: 2 cops suspended

NEW DELHI: A day after cops were attacked inside the Anand Vihar police station, and senior cops assaulted near the Karkardooma court complex, two constables have been suspended for using “unnecessary force” while controlling the crowd. DCP (east) Prabhakar said the lawyers at the court have also withdrawn the call for strike.
“A committee comprising the area DCP, and advocates S K Ahluwalia and Mukesh Bansal will examine the charges of both the groups.Two constables Ankit and Manoj who prima facie, used disproportionate force at the Anand Vihar police station have been suspended and an inquiry is pending,’’ said the DCP.
The situation went out of control around 4pm on Monday when Nishant, a junior engineer with MCD’s Shahdara (south) zone, was on a demolition drive in Inderpuri next to Karkardooma. MCD officials said the team had demolished a portion of the house, which allegedly belonged to an advocate named Sujit Kumar.
