DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF Police Bua Singh has admitted an abnormal rise in crime graph in the district of Allahabad.
The top cop expressed surprise when he was told that at least 19 murders had taken place in the month of October alone. DIG Akhilesh Mehrotra corroborated the figure when the DGP asked him about it.
In reply to a question over unprecedented increase in crime in the district he said that was why the State Government decided to shift SSP Vijay Singh Meena as he failed to contain crime in Allahabad.
The DGP directed DIG Akhilesh Mehrotra to expedite the inquiry ordered by the IG into allegation of corruption against the SSP after he was asked what action he was taking against the tainted officers.
The DGP, it may be mentioned, made the above remarks when he was told about the murder of Triveni Sheet Glass Works trade union leader Amrendra Pandey and also two subsequent inquiries ordered by IG Suvrat Tripathi into the same.
The DIG told the DGP that there were two inquiries being conducted in the murder of the trade union leader.
The corruption part was being investigated by him while the murder angle was being probed by a Jhansi-based DSP.
The DGP, however, said barring Allahabad there was 15 per cent decline in crime in other places of the State in comparison to previous year.
He said he had ordered all the district police chiefs to take preventive measures to contain crime in the State.
He said action against tainted cops was being taken and that was why 150 cops were sent to Jail.
He said, the police had launched 'Operation Dadua' to eliminate this dacoit, who had remained elusive for over two decades.
When asked about security measures for the Ardh Kumbh mela, he said adequate security arrangements were being made to keep all trouble makers at bay.
Commenting on Naxalite-affected districts in the State, he said the Naxlite menace had been contained to a great extent and there had been no major incidents during the past two years.
