DGP Dr RP Sharma on Friday placed Puri district’s former Gop police station IIC Soumyachit Mishra under suspension with immediate effect pending drawal of departmental proceeding against him for demanding and accepting an illegal gratification of Rs 3,000.
Mishra had been caught red-handed while taking the bribe from one Siba Prasad Jena of Nairasasan village under the Gop PS.
During the suspension period, Mishra will remain under the disciplinary control of the Cuttack Central Range IG.
