An assistant sub inspector (ASI) in Nagaur district has been suspended after he accused the SHO of Kuchera police station of pressuring the station staff for extorting money from people.
On Monday night, ASI Mehram has levelled corruption charges against SHO Mahaveer Prasad Meena, a sub inspector, through WhatsApp following which he was suspended yesterday on charges of indiscipline and unwarranted action, a senior police official said.
The ASI Mehram has the history of misconduct and negligence on duty. He was suspended for indiscipline yesterday and a separate probe was ordered into the allegations levelled by him, IG Ajmer Malini Agrawal said.
The station house officer (SHO) Meena has rejected the charges as "baseless.".
However, Mehram said, "The SHO keep pressurising the police station staff for extorting money from public. ASI Bansilal had died some time back because the SHO used to threaten him but instead of taking any action on the corrupt SHO, I was suspended, he said.
