Five Inspectors, who were issued charge memos by Warangal Police Commissioner Tarun Joshi, are yet to present their explanation.
Though issuance of charge memos to personnel facing allegations is normal, the case of these inspectors created ripples in police circles. The main allegation against them is that they had gone abroad without the mandatory prior intimation to and permission from the government. Reports were doing rounds that an anonymous person wrote a letter to the police higher-ups alleging that these police officers went places like Sri Lanka and Dubai and sent some pictures of these officers taken there.
“Anonymous person letter and photos being sent is not true. But an inquiry on the alleged abroad journey of the Inspectors was launched and they are yet to give their explanation,” Mr. Joshi said on Monday. The journeys abroad were undertaken some four to five years ago.
