Rachakonda police commissionerate on Wednesday informed that its chief Mahesh M Bhagwat has placed L.B. Nagar central crime station inspector S. Devender on suspension for “gross misconduct” on Tuesday.
The information was neither with any reference to the officer’s gross misconduct, nor explained the modus operandi of his offence.
Police sources, however, explained that Mr. Bhagwat oversaw an internal inquiry against Mr. Devender over allegations that he had withdrawn amounts to the tune of Rs. 5.5 lakh from the bank account of an accused who was in judicial custody.
