CBI has suspended its inspector for "misbehaving" with a graft accused who was allegedly caught red-handed while accepting a bribe from a parking contractor in Chandigarh.
CBI said inspector Ashok Yadav of the agency, who had gone for the trap case, was suspended and inquiry has been instituted after a CCTV footage showed the sleuth misbehaving with police inspector Rajesh Shukla, who was allegedly arrested while receiving the bribe.
The decision to suspend the CBI inspector came after some of the television channels aired his alleged high-handedness.
CBI Director Ranjit Sinha has been categorical about maintenance of discipline amongst his rank and file and senior officials took immediate action as such incidents of indiscipline were unacceptable.
On September 3, CBI had arrested Station House Officer Shukla, Head Constable Mukesh Kumar and Constable Dilbaj Singh for allegedly receiving a bribe of Rs 10,000 at Burail outpost of Sector-34 Chandigarh as monthly collection from a parking contractor.
