IMPHAL: The commanding officer-in-charge of the state disaster response force (SDRF) and three other personnel have been suspended for their alleged involvement in granting unofficial leaves to employees in lieu of bribes.
Following a thorough inquiry by a team of top police officials, led by additional DGP Clay Khongsai, the four accused — CO-in-charge Mohd Jakiruddin, CID inspector (security) SL Thangjapao, havildar RK Momosana of 5 IRB and rifleman Yainikhomngamba Meetei of Manipur police training centre — all attached to the SDRF, were placed under suspension on Thursday.
The probe followed after a complaint addressed to chief minster N Biren Singh through the newly launched, CM Da Haisi (Let us speak to the CM), a platform for citizens to lodge their grievances or complaints against corrupt practices of government employees.
