LUCKNOW: The UP Police has suspended from service the Station Officer of Chaubeypur police station in Kanpur district in view of allegations of his involvement in the killing of eight policemen by criminals during a raid to arrest history-sheeter Vikas Dubey.
“In view of the allegations levelled against SO, he has been suspended and all the allegations are being thoroughly looked into,” IG Kanpur Range Mohit Agarwal told reporters in Kanpur.
“If his involvement or that of any other personnel of the police is found in this incident, then they will be sacked from the department and also sent to jail,” he said. The officer did not disclose the nature of allegations against the SO.
Eight police personnel, including a DSP, were gunned down in a village near Kanpur city by the henchmen of a criminal who lost two of them in a firefight later, officials said.
Meanwhile, the daughter of DSP Devendra Mishra lit the funeral pyre of her father as he and seven others were cremated with full state honours in UP. (PTI)
