Jagatsinghpur Superintendent of Police Prakash R on Friday suspended a Sub-Inspector of the Tirtol police station on charges of gross misconduct in performing official duties.
Earlier, a complaint had been lodged with the SP against Nayak by one Rashmi Kanta Sahoo, a resident of Nuagaon village alleging that the cop had allegedly assaulted him when he went to the Tirtol police station on June 13 to inquire about a land dispute case lodged by his mother Sulochana Sahoo two weeks ago.
He also alleged that Nayak abused him in filthy language and asked him to dispose of the land dispute amicably with the opposite party. But when he opposed it, the SI rained blows on him in presence of some other policemen. He sustained injuries in the cop’s assault and hospitalised.
