Prayagraj police commissionerate has taken significant disciplinary measures by attaching 44 officers, including nine sub-inspectors and five head constables, to the reserve police lines. This decision was made on Wednesday night due to allegations of dereliction of duty during Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s visit to the city on September 14. The action underscores the police department’s commitment to accountability and effective service, especially during high-profile events.
Explanations have been sought from all 44 personnel, and further action will be taken based on their replies. Stay updated with the latest Prayagraj news.
The personnel had been deployed on reserve duty for the VVIP visit but allegedly left their designated posts before the chief minister departed from the venue, according to police officials. A senior officer said a surprise check by senior police officials found the policemen absent from their duty points. Download the TOI App.
