Creating a ruckus after getting inebriated at a party organised by a colleague and sullying the image of UP Police proved costly for eight cops in Bahraich as they were suspended by the district police chief.
A probe was also ordered into the matter to initiate departmental proceedings against the errant cops.
As per reports, constable Mahip Shukla posted at Risia police station threw a party on Sunday night. At the party, his colleagues in uniform consumed alcohol and engaged in fisticuffs. The incident was not reported to the senior officers. However, the entire sequence of events surfaced on the social media bringing disrepute to the police force.
As soon as the incident came to his knowledge, Superintendent of Police of Bahraich, Vipin Misra, suspended all the eight policemen.
The suspended cops included party organiser Mahip Shukla, constables Rajesh Yadav, Amit Yadav, Ajay Yadav, Pankaj Yadav, Vinod Yadav, Pawan Yadav and Afzal Khan.
The district police chief also initiated a probe and asked ASP (City) Kunwar Gyananjay Singh to submit a report in this context.
