In Telangana, three policemen have been suspended for alleged delay in registering an FIR in the case relating to the missing woman veterinarian who was later found raped and murdered.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner, V.C. Sajjanar said today that the policemen were suspended after an inquiry following allegations levelled by the family that police had cited jurisdictional reasons and not acted on time on their complaint on the missing woman. He said a detailed enquiry was conducted following which a Sub-Inspector and two constables were suspended yesterday.
He added that all police officers have once again been instructed to register cases, irrespective of jurisdiction whenever a complaint related to cognisable offence is received in the police station.
