The new guidelines come after some liquor bottles were found on the premises of the city commissioner’s office recently.  

In his order, Special IG Suhas Warke stated that it has come to the notice of the top brass that the police officials of different ranks while carrying out investigations, patrolling and law and order duties abstain from wearing the official uniform, and the exception of the rule applies only to the special and crime branch staffers.  

“All the unit commanders and commissioners are instructed that no act of indiscipline should take place involving uniformed police personnel failing which strict action must be initiated against those found guilty,” the order read.
