Police fail to fix responsibility of seniors despite evidence

CHANDIGARH: Despite having clinching evidence against 10 policemen standing in action mode near damaged vehicles, Chandigarh police have suspended only three policemen and failed to fix responsibility on the senior officials responsible for controlling the ruckus.
Ironically, five policemen included sub-inspector Prem Nath, ASI Suresh Kumar, head constable Ramesh Kumar and two constables Dilbag and Kulwinder Singh, who were slapped censure notices for "gross negligence" in their duties, are still attached with the Indian Reserve of Battalion (IRB).
At the time when hundreds of police personnel went on rampage and started damaging the windowpanes of parked vehicles near the rally ground, SI Prem Nath and ASI Suresh Kumar were appointed for controlling the personnel of IRB.
Sources told TOI, "SI Prem Nath and ASI Suresh Kumar are still attached with IRB and constable Kulwinder has been transferred to police lines in Sector 26." Meanwhile, no senior official was available for comment.
The guilty policemen, including constables Sukhbir Singh, Pawan Kumar and Swadesh, were also a part of IRB when they damaged over 80 vehicles during a rally in March 2011.
