SP (Crime) Manoj Kumar said Pawan had been suspended on the basis of a report received from the investigating officer (IO) and the SSP.

“Pawan has been directed to report to the Police Lines during the period of suspension,” he said. Meanwhile, no action has been taken against the other cop whose name had also cropped up in the incident. A police official said the action was taken on the basis of a report sent by the IO. “The report mentioned only Pawan’s name following which he was suspended,” the official said.

The liquor contractor, in his complaint, had alleged that the cops used to extort money on a monthly basis. He gave Rs96,000 a month to the cops. A case of extortion and under sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered at the Sector 39 police station. The complainant had provided CCTV footage based on which the two cops were identified. — TNS
