ROORKEE, 1 Mar: Haridwar SSP has taken strict action in the recent firing at the camp office of Khanpur MLA Umesh Kumar in Roorkee, Haridwar. SSP Pramod Dobhal has suspended the senior sub-inspector of Roorkee police station and a sub-inspector for not providing timely information to higher authorities regarding firing at the camp office of Khanpur MLA in Roorkee on February 26.
It may be recalled that on the morning of February 26, around 3 am, masked miscreants riding a bike fired at the camp office/residence of independent MLA from Khanpur, Umesh Kumar, on the Kanwar track in Roorkee. While the police had registered a case, the investigation was handed over to Jitendra Mehra. Now, further action has been taken in this case by Haridwar SSP Pramod Dobhal.
He has taken a tough stand on the allegations of not reaching the spot immediately after the incident and not informing higher authorities on time, resulting in the suspension of Senior Sub Inspector Dharmendra Rathi of Roorkee Kotwali. Additionally, he has immediately suspended Sub Inspector Rajiv Uniyal.
Former MLA from Khanpur Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion had also fired indiscriminately at the camp office of MLA Umesh Kumar on January 26 and is now currently lodged in Roshnabad jail since then under judicial custody.
