Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij on Monday asked the Director General of Police (DGP) to suspend 372 Investigating Officers (IOs) across the state with immediate effect for allegedly not taking appropriate action on FIRs pending for over a year.
In a letter addressed to the DGP, Vij has given instructions to suspend 372 IOs across various districts of the state, ANI reported.
While putting up clarification on issuing instructions to suspend 372 Investigating Officers in one go, Vij said, “For a long time, I have been saying to the officers to finalise the disposal of prolonged cases. In May, the department gave us information that there are nearly 3,229 cases in which final disposal has not been done for more than one year. People are going from one place to another, and cases are not getting disposed of. We called the officers, and 372 officers did not give a satisfactory explanation. I have issued an order to immediately suspend 372 IO’s.”
Apart from that, Anil Vij also asked for the pending cases to be transferred to respective deputy superintendents of police for final disposal within a month.
