A police station in-charge who recently won the best SHO award was shifted to the police line after he didn't register an FIR in an alleged case of gang-rape and loot.
Kanpur SSP Shalabh Mathur today said Chakeri police station in-charge Rajiv Dwivedi was "line-attached" last night for "carelessness" even as the victim's husband claimed he was asked to "come tomorrow (to file the case) as today (Sunday) is a holiday."
The victim's husband, a labourer, said he had gone to Chakeri police station to file an FIR after five dacoits barged into his dwelling yesterday in Kanpur Dehat's Saniganva area and raped his wife, 38, and looted Rs 30,000 and jewellery.
The complainant claimed that at the police station he was asked to "come tomorrow (to file the case) as today (Sunday) is a holiday."
He then approached the senior police officials following which an FIR was registered.
SSP Mathur said a probe team was constituted and the police station in-charge Dwivedi was line-attached last night.
He said the victim has been sent for a medical examination today.
Dwivedi was given the best SHO award in the city about six months ago, police sources said.
