Panipat SP suspends 3 cops caught accepting bribe on video

Chandigarh: The Panipat superintendent of police (SP) on Sunday placed under suspension three policemen after a video in which they were allegedly seen demanding and accepting bribe from a transporter had gone viral on social media for the last three days.

Those who have been placed under suspension include exempted sub-inspector (ESI) Ram Rattan and two head constables Karamveer Singh and Ajit Singh.

They were deployed on the toll plaza of Panipat.

Panipat SP Sumit Kumar has also directed the police to register a case under the Prevention and Corruption Act against them at the Panipat City police station. Investigations have begun, but no arrests have been made so far.

According to information, the three cops were deployed at Babatpur traffic police station of Panipat. Last week they were caught on camera while demanding and accepting the bribe from a transporter after stopping the vehicle at the toll plaza on the Panipat-Delhi highway.

On Friday, the video was handed over to DSP (traffic) Satish Kumar Vats who identified the errant cops and recommended the action.
