CHANDAULI POLICE has started gearing up to attach the property of a dismissed and absconding police inspector Pradip Singh Chandel in connection with mysterious disappearance of an official AK- 47 rifle from the Chakia police station last month.
The police have already received the court order under Section 82 of CrPC, declaring the inspector as an absconder. SP (Chandauli) Pravin Kumar told HT on Saturday that the department would further shortly urge the court to receive the order under Section 83 of CrPC to attach the property of accused and dismissed inspector Pradip Singh Chandel.
The concerned police inspector Chandel and four constables, earlier suspended, were dismissed from their services by the police administration on Thursday.
Pravin Kumar received an official communication to this effect on Friday.
It may be noted that during the inspection of Chakia police station on August 13, a DSP had found that the official AK- 47 rifle issued to the inspector Pradip Singh Chandel was missing. Following the disappearance of sophisticated departmental rifle, the SP personally investigated the case. Soon, an FIR was lodged against the inspector, a head constable and three other constables.
A few days after the FIR, head constable Mahendra Kumar Dubey and constables Om Prakash Prajapati, Vinod Kumar Gupta and Rakesh Kumar were arrested and are still lodged in jail while the concerned inspector went underground.
