The action comes barely 48 hours after a bank customer care operator was allegedly robbed of ₹4.12 lakh by two motorcycle-borne assailants on Monday night in Achheja village under Badalpur police station.

According to Yadav, deputy commissioner of police, central noida zone, the SHO was under scrutiny of senior police officers in the district since the last few months.

“Apart from the robbery case, Kumar was found to be negligent in controlling crime in his jurisdiction. Further, his supervision over his subordinates was also found to be faulty by senior officers. Because of these reasons, law and order situation in Badalpur police station seemed to be threatened,” he said.
