Seven policemen including two Inspectors have been suspended for letting a DSP rank officer enter “unauthorisedly” into 1 Anne Marg, the official residence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar here.
The DSP too has been served with a show cause notice for indulging in “an act of indiscipline,” said Director General of Police K S Dwived.
The state police chief termed the incident as “an act of indiscipline” by the DSP, dismissing media reports that dubbed it as a “security breach.”
The deputy superintendent of police in state vigilance bureau Roop Ranjan Hargave has been served with a show cause for his misconduct.
“It is not at all correct to brand the incident as ‘breach in CM security’, rather it was an act of indiscipline by an officer (DSP),” the DGP told PTI.
“How can it be termed as breach in security. He is a serving DSP whom the people (security) know.
It would have been termed as security breach if any unknown person or a miscreant or a terrorist or a person armed with weapons would have entered the premises,” Dwivedi said, strongly dismissing media reports dubbing it as security breach.
Stating that there is a clear cut directive that no one will go to the CM’s official residence for his/her personal work, Dwivedi said the DSP in violation of this directive, went there where the security officials stopped him but he lied that the principal secretary to the CM has called him up.
