The control room staff reportedly did not take repeated calls from the victim family in the early hours of July 30.

The state officials on Sunday suspended Bulandshahr SSP, Vibhav Krishna, SP (city) Ram Mohan Singh, circle officer (city) Himanshu Gaurav, in-charge (Kotwali Dehat) Ram Sen Singh, police outpost (highway) incharge Pramod Kumar, highway patrolling in-charge Rustam and beat constable Anurag Yadav.

Deputy inspector general ( Meerut) Laxmi Singh on Monday ordered the three suspensions and said some technical glitches were also found with the police emergency number.

“We have found technical glitches as some telephone lines in the control room were out or order and even the present lines were less in numbers. We have asked the service provider BNSL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) to immediately rectify the issues,” she said.
