Anantapur Superintendent of Police K.K.N. Anburajan on March 11 (Monday) dismissed six police personnel including a head constable, four constables, and a junior assistant working in the district police office from their services.
In 2019, a head constable and four constables working in Tadipatri town were charged with receiving monthly bribes from matka operators and ganja sellers. They were suspended after a probe was ordered. However, the head constable was reinstated later. They were dismissed from service after the allegations were found to be true during an investigation.
The junior assistant working in the Anantapur district police office was charged with organising a lottery illegally and having collected lakhs of rupees from people. After an investigation, the SP issued the dismissal order.
In January, the Anantapur SP dismissed three police personnel after corruption charges were proved against them.
