Ghaziabad: The Ghaziabad police are in controversies these days after two of their Station House Officers getting booked under charges of corruption while in a new incident an inspector who is also a former PRO of Ghaziabad SSP has raised questions on the transfer and postings of cops at police stations of the district.
The matter came to light after Inspector Pankaj Kumar sent some objectionable posts on a media WhatsApp group alleging that the present SSP has allowed posting of corrupt police officials as SHO in police stations around the district. Kumar raised questions how police officer like Deepak Sharma, Laxmi Chauhan got the police station when honest and brave police officers are waiting for their number in police line.
The move came after SSP Ghaizbad, on Tuesday, transferred four police officers where Satendra Singh got the charge of Kotwali police station, Ramesh Rana was posted as SHO of Tronica City police station, Gajendra Pal became SHO of Sihani gate police station and Jigyasa Parasar was appointed as the new SHO of Women police station.
Kumar took names of four police officials who have been posted as SHOs of some important police stations in the district and highlighted these officers as corrupt. Later the messages were deleted from the group but screenshots were taken by the group members which went viral from Ghaziabad to DGP headquarters in Lucknow.
However, after deleting the messages, Kumar presented a clarification into the matter saying that he was trying to delete all these posts but fortunately it was forwarded to media groups.
Meanwhile, Sudhir Kumar Singh, Senior Superintendent of Police in Ghaziabad said that all the messages were forwarded on Monday while he gave the orders of the transfer on Tuesday. "Somebody might have leaked the information of transfers of police officers and the information has been used by some miscreants to defame me. Cyber cell and police are trying to trace the real culprit behind the scene and we are hoping that the culprit will be arrested soon," said Singh.
