Five policemen suspended for giving special treatment to accused
Hindustan TimesMUMBAI: Five police personnel, including an assistant inspector, were suspended by Mira-Bhayander-Vasai-Virar police commissioner for allegedly giving special treatment to two accused arrested in an assault case. Since the Naya Nagar police do not have a lock-up, the accused were taken to the Kanakia Nagar police lock-up at night for all seven days of their police custody remand. Assistant police inspector Milind Borse of Kanakia police station allegedly asked Chheda and his aide to be kept in rooms and cabins meant for police officers, located on the first floor of the police station, instead of the lock-up on the ground floor. “The five have been suspended by the commissioner while Chheda and his aide have been released on bail,” said a police officer from Naya Nagar police station.
