"We have initiated a departmental inquiry into the matter which is being conducted through the vigilance wing of the force," Assam Riffles spokesperson Lt Col Sunil Rawat said here.
A former jawan-turned-contractor C K Matthew, who reportedly initiated the sting operation against Assam Rifles officers and others, was called for deposition of the original footages for necessary actions, he said.
Admitting that the matter was a serious one, Assam Rifles spokesperson said the departmental inquiry would get to the very cause and roots of the problem which has tarnished the image of the force.
