Gurugram, November 10
Two cops, including an SHO, have been suspended for laxity in adding relevant sections to the FIR in an accident case.
Alok Gupta (49), CFO at Integreon India Private Limited, was killed in an accident on the Golf Course Road here in the wee hours of August 23.
His bike was allegedly hit by a speeding car, being driven by a minor. The victim was on his way to Greater Noida.
The police had registered a case under Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304-A (causing death by negligence) of the IPC. Later, Section 304 (II) was added, and parents of the minor driver were also booked.
But the family of the deceased alleged that the Section 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide) was not added in the FIR on purpose. The family demonstrated on the city roads. Police Commissioner KK Rao on Monday suspended Aman Beniwal, SHO of DLF Phase 2 police station, and SIHari Om, the investigating officer, for negligence in handling the case. — OC
