Ambala ASP to probe Yamunanagar police staffer’s suicide

The 4th class employee was working as a water carrier with the police department in Yamunanagar. The family claimed that he had consumed some poisonous substance after he was harassed by some cops.

A case was registered against two cops for abetment to suicide. However, the family remained dissatisfied with the probe and alleged involvement of a DSP-rank officer in the case.

Superintendent of Police Mohit Handa said that a department enquiry was underway against the cops and he had written to the higher authorities for a transfer of the case.

Following this, the office of the ADGP, Ambala Range, Shrikant Jadhav has now transferred the probe to ASP Ambala, Pooja Dabla.

A police spokesperson said that Handa has also asked station in-charge of Jagadhri city police station to speed-up the documentation process to ease compensation from the government and the department to the family. ENDS
