Four Police Personnel Suspended in Bijnor After Extortion FIR Filed at Their Own Police Station

In a major disciplinary action in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor district, four police personnel, including a sub-inspector, have been suspended after an FIR was registered against them in an alleged extortion case. In an unusual development, the complaint was registered at the same police station where the accused personnel were posted.

According to the available information, the police personnel were accused of allegedly demanding money from a person and subjecting him to pressure. Following the complaint, the matter was brought to the attention of senior police officials, who ordered action after examining the allegations.

An FIR was subsequently registered at the concerned police station against the accused personnel. A sub-inspector and three other policemen were suspended with immediate effect as part of the departmental action.

Investigation and Departmental Proceedings

Senior officials have directed that the allegations be investigated. The inquiry will examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged demand for money, the role of each accused personnel and the evidence available in the case.

The suspension is an administrative measure and does not by itself establish guilt. Further action will depend on the findings of the investigation and the legal proceedings.

The incident has once again brought attention to complaints of alleged misconduct within the police force and the accountability mechanisms available to citizens. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
