SHO in trouble for ‘abusing’ govt staff

PATNA: Bhojpur SP Sushil Kumar has sought an explanation from SHO of Garhani police station Sajid Hussain, who was accused of hurling abuses at the government employees at the local circle office on May 31.

Kumar said a chowkidar, Pankaj Kumar, was earlier suspended by DM Roshan Kushwaha in this connection. Kumar, who was with the SHO at the circle office, was also accused of misbehaving with the government officials.

The SP said the government had asked all district administrations to provide an additional vehicle to each police station for patrolling during lockdown. “One vehicle was provided to Garhani police station. However, even after 11 days, fuel slip was not issued. The SHO and some other policemen had gone to the circle office to get fuel slip,” he said.

He said explanation was sought from the SHO on the basis of an inquiry report submitted by SDO and DSP of Sadar area.
