As many as thirteen police personnel were suspended in Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh Saturday for alleged negligence in the security of senior officers.
District Superintendent of Police A Jayadevan said the suspended men were attached to the Special Armed Force (SAF) and the district police.
A letter has been written to the SAF commandant, asking him to suspend four other personnel, he said.
While the SP did not give details of the alleged lapses committed by these policemen, local sources said they were found playing cards while on duty last week.
