AMBALA: Haryana home and health minister Anil Vij ordered suspension of three police officials during his Janata Darbar in Ambala on Saturday.
A woman complainant showed a video of two police officials serving tea to an absconding accused of fraud in Kaithal's Pundri police station. Vij ordered suspension of both the police officials. Similarly, Vij ordered the suspension of Panipat city police station in-charge Balraj, after ambulance drivers framed charges of demanding Rs 10,000 per ambulance on him.
Vij also reprimanded the Kaithal SP regarding the fraud case.
Anil Vij said to Kaithal SP, “Tea is being served to the accused in the police station. Criminals are sitting in the police station. Suspend both the employees immediately. Should I close the police station, how can this happen, SP Sahib, will goons rule the state, I want immediate action."
A woman complainant from Kaithal alleged that the police were not arresting the accused in the Rs 25 lakh fraud case. Despite the case being registered, the accused is roaming freely and the police personnel are making the accused sit in the police station and serving him tea, she said. Within an hour of Vij's reprimand, Haryana police DGP PK Aggarwal informed the home minister that the accused had been arrested.
On Saturday, more than 6,000 complainants from all over the state reached Vij's Janata Darbar at the PWD rest house in Ambala Cantonment with their complaints, on which directions for action were given by the home minister.
Another complainant alleged that he had made a deal of Kothi for Rs 57 lakh. But the accused cheated her. A complaint was made to the police in this matter, but till now it has not been registered. The complainant alleged that the Panchkula DSP's reader demanded two lakhs from him for registering the case, he did not give this amount and till now his case has not been registered. In the case, Vij directed to transfer DSP's reader from the seat, to register a case.
