3 central police force personnel suspended for playing carrom in TMC office

KOLKATA, March 29: The Election Commission suspended three central armed police force personnel after a purported video went viral showing them playing carrom inside a TMC office at Suri in Birbhum district.
A departmental inquiry has been ordered into the matter, he said.The purported video went viral on Saturday, showing one personnel playing carrom with three local youths, another standing, and a third seated on a chair inside the TMC office in Suri.BJP candidate for Suri Assembly constituency, Jagannath Chatterjee, condemned the incident, calling it “extremely reprehensible and disappointing.” “It is unclear how and where the central forces are being deployed. If the local administration or police had a role in this carrom game, strict action should be taken against them as well,” Chatterjee said.TMC leader of Birbhum district Malay Mukherjee said, “Those who were working here understand that casually interacting with TMC is not a crime. That is probably why they were talking and playing carrom.” (PTI)
